Abstract

COVID-19 has severely affected the world health and economic sector. It has also affected the psychological behavior of people of every ages. That’s why this study has been conducted, “Detecting Fear of COVID-19”. A wide variety of data from different ages including student, jobholder, doctor, businessmen, unemployed person, and others is collected for conducting this study. We have collected 553 instances to complete this analysis. By using this data, we have constructed a detection system which help us to detect the fear of COVID-19. We have constructed a machine learning classifier by using ten machine learning algorithms and their features technique. Finally, two machine learning algorithms have been used to identity the fear of human's mind during Covid-19 outbreaks. One is LogitBoost and the other one is Random Forest algorithm. With the assistance of tenfold-cross validation, we have measured the validity of data which is collected by us, whereas performance matrix has helped us to report the evaluation of data. This evaluation report has shown us the accuracy and effectiveness of constructing a model to detect the fear of COVID-19. We have gotten the final result, that is, 70.34% by using LogitBoost algorithm. Our main goal is to identify the fear of COVID-19, as many people were afraid of this virus.
