Explainable AI to Analyze Outcomes of Spike Neural Network in Covid-19 Chest X-rays

Analysis of irregularities in Covid-19 data could open a new window to learn more about the unprecedented problems of the current global pandemic. Of many, radiographs and clinical records are reliable sources for viral infection investigation and treatment planning. Clinical records help track the Covid-19 pandemic. In this paper, we present a Spike Neural Network (SNN) with supervised synaptic learning to detect abnormalities in Chest X-rays (CXRs) In other words, the proposed SNN can distinguish Covid-19 positive cases from healthy ones. In our decision-making procedure, we introduce clinical practice so Explainable AI (XAI) is possible to carry out. In addition, Support Vector Machine (SVM) with local interpretable model-agnostic explanation (LIME) provides reliable analysis of abnormalities in Covid-19 clinical data.
