This study investigates the potential of a simple artificial neural network for the prediction of COVID-19 New Confirmed Cases in Algeria (CNCC). Four different ANN models were built (GRNN, RBFNN, ELM, and MLP). The performance of the predictive models is evaluated based on four numerical parameters, namely root mean squared error (RMSE), mean absolute error (MAE), Nash-Sutcliffe efficiency (NSE), and Pearson correlation coefficient (R). Taylor diagram was also used to examine the similarities and differences between the observed and predicted values obtained from the proposed models. The results showed the potential of the multi-layer perceptron neural network (MLPNN) which exhibited a high level of accuracy in comparison to the other models.

Matching journals

The top 5 journals account for 50% of the predicted probability mass.

"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.
