We have developed a two-module pipeline for the detection of SARS-CoV-2 from chest X-rays (CXRs). Module 1 is a traditional convnet that generates masks of the lungs overlapping the heart and large vasa. Module 2 is a hybrid convnet that preprocesses CXRs and corresponding lung masks by means of the Wavelet Scattering Transform, and passes the resulting feature maps through an Attention block and a cascade of Separable Atrous Multiscale Convolutional Residual blocks to produce a class assignment as Covid or non-Covid. Module 1 was trained on a public dataset of 6395 CXRs with radiologist annotated lung contours. Module 2 was trained on a dataset of 2362 non-Covid and 1435 Covid CXRs acquired at the Henry Ford Health System Hospital in Detroit. Six distinct cross-validation models, were combined into an ensemble model that was used to classify the CXR images of the test set. An intuitive graphic interphase allows for rapid Covid vs. non-Covid classification of CXRs, and generates high resolution heat maps that identify the affected lung regions.

"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.
