Table 1. Performance metrics of each set of features for the Opacity Score and Geographic Extent prediction.

Evaluation is performed on 50 randomly chosen train test splits and the metrics here are computed on a hold out test set.

R2: coefficient of determination; MAE: mean absolute error; MSE: mean squared error. “four outputs” refers to lung opacity, pneumonia, infiltration, and consolidation
