The magnificent performance reported by machine learning and deep learning methods in the previous epidemic has encouraged researchers to develop systems with these methods to diagnose COVID-19. <\/jats:p><jats:p> Methods: In this paper, an ensemble-based multi-level voting model is proposed to diagnose COVID-19 from chest x-rays. The multi-level voting model proposed in this paper is built using four machine learning algorithms namely Random Forest (RF), Logistic Regression (LR), Support Vector Machine (SVM) with a linear kernel, and K-Nearest Neighbor (KNN). These algorithms are trained with features extracted using the ResNet50 deep learning model before merging them to form the voting model. In this work, voting is performed at two levels, at level 1 these four algorithms are grouped into 2 sets consisting of two algorithms each (set 1 \u2014 SVM with linear kernel and LR and set 2 \u2014 RF and KNN) and intra set hard voting is performed. At level 2 these two sets are merged using hard voting to form the proposed model. <\/jats:p><jats:p> Results: The proposed multilevel voting model outperformed all the machine learning algorithms, pre-trained models, and other proposed works with an accuracy of 100% and specificity of 100%. <\/jats:p><jats:p> Conclusion: The proposed model helps for the faster diagnosis of COVID-19 across the globe. <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1142\/s0218488522500222","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,11,21]],"date-time":"2022-11-21T01:37:06Z","timestamp":1668994626000},"page":"773-793","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Detection of COVID-19 Cases from Chest X-Rays using Deep Learning Feature Extractor and Multilevel Voting Classifier"],"prefix":"10.1142","volume":"30","author":[{"given":"G.","family":"Suganya","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Computer Science and Engineering, Vellore Institute of Technology Chennai Campus, India"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"M.","family":"Premalatha","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Computer Science and Engineering, Vellore Institute of Technology Chennai Campus, India"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"S.","family":"Geetha","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Computer Science and Engineering, Vellore Institute of Technology Chennai Campus, India"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"G.
