COVID-19 is a pandemic infectious disease caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus, having reached more than 210 countries and territories. It produces symptoms such as fever, dry cough, dyspnea, fatigue, pneumonia, and radiological manifestations. The most common reported RX and CT findings include lung consolidation and ground-glass opacities. In this paper, we describe a machine learning-based system (XrayCoviDetector; until the image has a size www.covidetector.net), that detects automatically, the probability that a thorax radiological image includes COVID-19 lung patterns. XrayCoviDetector has an accuracy of 0.93, a sensitivity of 0.96, and a specificity of 0.90.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
