Assessing COVID-19 Vaccine Hesitancy via Sentiment Analysis: A Fine-Tuned Naive Bayes Classifier using Feature Engineering

Leave a Comment / Covid-19 / By

Abstract—The introduction of COVID-19 vaccines was met with scepticism and fear, amplified through social media plat- forms such as Twitter. This work investigates public sentiment regarding vaccines by creating a new, more accurate classifier for classifying COVID-19-related tweets by employing transfer learning of a pre-trained model, fine tuning the model with COVID-19-related data, and feature …

Identifying the Best Image Classification Algorithm for COVID-19 Diagnosis with a Small, Imbalanced Chest X-Ray Dataset

Leave a Comment / Covid-19 / By

Abstract With more than 82 million COVID-19 cases worldwide [1], automated chest radiograph interpretation could provide substantial benefit for efficient and accurate diagnosis of COVID-19 patients. In this project, families of deep learning neural networks are trained on publicly available chest X-ray datasets to identify the best image classification algorithm for automating the diagnosis of …

Case Study Testing the Antibacterial Efficacy Between Alcohol-Based and Alcohol-Free Sanitiser on the Human Hand

Leave a Comment / Biology, Covid-19 / By

Arjun Subramanian Reviewed by: Dr. Chris Baysdorfer, Cal State East Bay ABSTRACT The novel Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 has augmented the regular use of hand sanitiser, redefining its role in preventing viral transmissions and killing bacteria which can promote viral replication. As a result, the two major types of sanitiser, alcohol-based, made with …

Autophagy: A Multipotentialite

1 Comment / Biology, Covid-19 / By

Tanvi Yalamanchili Abstract Autophagy is an important cellular process involved in cellular health and disease. This review addresses the major mechanisms of autophagy and explores how this process contributes to numerous human diseases. Research suggests that infection by SARS-CoV2, the virus that causes the novel human coronavirus disease COVID-19, may be mediated by autophagy. This …
