• Abstract summary: We propose a machine learning system for the detection of referable Diabetic Retinopathy in fundus images. By extracting local information from image patches and combining it efficiently through an attention mechanism, our system is able to achieve high classification accuracy. We evaluate our approach on publicly available retinal image datasets, in which it exhibits near state-of-the-art performance.

• Abstract: Diabetic Retinopathy (DR) is a leading cause of vision loss globally. Yet despite its prevalence, the majority of affected people lack access to the specialized ophthalmologists and equipment required for assessing their condition. This can lead to delays in the start of treatment, thereby lowering their chances for a successful outcome. Machine learning systems that automatically detect the disease in eye fundus images have been proposed as a means of facilitating access to DR severity estimates for patients in remote regions or even for complementing the human expert's diagnosis. In this paper, we propose a machine learning system for the detection of referable DR in fundus images that is based on the paradigm of multiple-instance learning. By extracting local information from image patches and combining it efficiently through an attention mechanism, our system is able to achieve high classification accuracy. Moreover, it can highlight potential image regions where DR manifests through its characteristic lesions. We evaluate our approach on publicly available retinal image datasets, in which it exhibits near state-of-the-art performance, while also producing interpretable visualizations of its predictions.

  Retinopathy of Prematurity (ROP) is an eye disorder primarily affecting premature infants with lower weights. It causes proliferation of vessels in the retina and could result in vision loss and, eventually, retinal detachment, leading to blindness. In recent years, there has been a significant effort to automate the diagnosis using deep learning. This paper builds upon the success of previous models and develops a novel architecture, which combines object segmentation and convolutional neural networks (CNN) Our proposed system first trains an object segmentation model to identify the demarcation line at a pixel level and adds the resulting mask as an additional "color" channel in
