In Search of an Efficient and Reliable Deep Learning Model for Identification of COVID-19 Infection from Chest X-ray Images.

The virus responsible for COVID-19 is mutating day by day with more infectious characteristics. With the limited healthcare resources and overburdened medical practitioners, it is almost impossible to contain this virus. The automatic identification of this viral infection from chest X-ray (CXR) images is now more demanding as it is a cheaper and less time-consuming diagnosis option.
