What is it about?

A novel type of coronavirus, now known under the acronym COVID-19, was initially discovered in the city of Wuhan, China. Since then, it has spread across the globe and now it is affecting over 210 countries worldwide. The number of confirmed cases is rapidly increasing and has recently reached over 14 million on July 18, 2020, with over 600,000 confirmed deaths. In the research presented within this paper, a new forecasting model to predict the number of confirmed cases of COVID-19 disease is proposed.

Why is it important?

The model proposed in this paper is a hybrid between machine learning adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system and enhanced genetic algorithm metaheuristics. The enhanced genetic algorithm is applied to determine the parameters of the adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system and to enhance the overall quality and performances of the prediction model. Proposed hybrid method was tested by using realistic official dataset on the COVID-19 outbreak in the state of China.
