AI models are utilized in healthcare sector in which the machines are used to investigate and make decisions based on prediction and classification of input data. With this motivation, the current study involves the design of Metaheuristic Optimization with Kernel Extreme Learning Machine for COVID-19 Prediction Model on Epidemiology Dataset, named MOKELM-CPED technique. The primary aim of the presented MOKELM-CPED model is to accomplish effectual COVID-19 classification outcomes using epidemiology dataset. In the proposed MOKELM-CPED model, the data first undergoes pre-processing to transform the medical data into useful format. Followed by, data classification process is performed by following Kernel Extreme Learning Machine (KELM) model. Finally, Symbiotic Organism Search (SOS) optimization algorithm is utilized to fine tune the KELM parameters which consequently helps in achieving high detection efficiency. In order to investigate the improved classifier outcomes of MOKELM-CPED model in an effectual manner, a comprehensive experimental analysis was conducted and the results were inspected under diverse aspects. The outcome of the experiments infer the enhanced performance of the proposed method over recent approaches under distinct measures.}, DOI = {10.32604/cmc.2022.029385} }
