abstract = {Goal: Thermography based infection screening at
international airports plays an important role in the
prevention of pandemics. However, studies show that
thermography suffers from low sensitivity and specificity.
To achieve higher screeningaccuracy, we developed a
screening system based on the acquisition of multiple
vital-signs. This multi-modal approach increases accuracy,
but introduces the need for sophisticated classification
methods. This paper presents a comprehensive analysis of the
multi-modal approach to infection screening from a machine
learning perspective. Methods: We conduct an empirical study
applying six classification algorithms to measurements from
the multi-modal screening system and comparing their
performance among each other, as well as to the performance
of thermography. In addition, we provide an information
theoretic view on the use of multiple vital-signs for
infection screening. The classification methods are tested
using the same clinical data which has beenanalysed in our
previous study using linear discriminant analysis. A total
of 92 subjects were recruited for influenza screening using
the system, consisting of 57 inpatients diagnosed to have
seasonal influenza and 35 healthy controls. Results: Our
study revealedthat the multi-modal screening system reduces
the misclassification rate by more than $50\%$ compared to
thermography. At the same time, none of the multi-modal
classifiers needed more than 6 ms for classification, which
is negligible for practical purposes. Conclusion: Among the
tested classifiers k-nearest neighbours, support vector
machine and quadratic discriminant analysis achieved the
highest cross-validated sensitivity score of $93\%.$
Significance: Multi-modal infection screening might be able
to address the shortcomings of thermography.},
