dc.description.abstractSince the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, computer vision researchers have been working on automatic identification of this disease using radiological images. The results achieved by automatic classification methods far exceed those of human specialists, with sensitivity as high as 100% being reported. However, prestigious radiology societies have stated that the use of this type of imaging alone is not recommended as a diagnostic method. According to some experts the patterns presented in these images are unspecific and subtle, overlapping with other viral pneumonias. This report seeks to evaluate the analysis the robustness and generalizability of different approaches using artificial intelligence, deep learning and computer vision to identify COVID-19 using chest X-rays images. We also seek to alert researchers and reviewers to the issue of “shortcut learning”. Recommendations are presented to identify whether COVID-19 automatic classification models are being affected by shortcut learning. Firstly, papers using explainable artificial intelligence methods are reviewed. The results of applying external validation sets are evaluated to determine the generalizability of these methods. Finally, studies that apply traditional computer vision methods to perform the same task are considered. It is evident that using the whole chest X-Ray image or the bounding box of the lungs, the image regions that contribute most to the classification appear outside of the lung region, something that is not likely possible. In addition, although the investigations that evaluated their models on data sets external to the training set, the effectiveness of these models decreased significantly, it may provide a more realistic representation as how the model will perform in the clinic. The results indicate that, so far, the existing models often involve shortcut learning, which makes their use less appropriate in the clinical setting.en_US
