In order to prevent the spread of pathogenicity, it is necessary to identify infected people for quarantine and treatment. The use of artificial intelligence and data mining approaches can lead to prevention and reduction of treatment costs. The purpose of this study is to create data mining models in order to diagnose people with the disease of COVID-19 through the sound of coughing.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Method<\/jats:title><jats:p>In this research, Supervised Learning classification algorithms have been used, which include Support Vector Machine (SVM), random forest, and Artificial Neural Networks, that based on the standard \u201cFully Connected\u201d neural network, Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) and Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) recurrent neural networks have been established.
