• Authors: Yuhao Niu, Lin Gu, Yitian Zhao, Feng Lu
• Abstract summary: We propose to exploit the interpretability of deep learning application in medical diagnosis. By determining and isolating the neuron activation patterns on which diabetic retinopathy detector relies to make decisions, we demonstrate the direct relation between the isolated neuron activation and lesions for a pathological explanation. To visualize the symptom encoded in the descriptor, we propose Patho-GAN, a new network to synthesize medically plausible retinal images.

• Abstract: Though deep learning has shown successful performance in classifying the label and severity stage of certain diseases, most of them give few explanations on how to make predictions. Inspired by Koch's Postulates, the foundation in evidence-based medicine (EBM) to identify the pathogen, we propose to exploit the interpretability of deep learning application in medical diagnosis. By determining and isolating the neuron activation patterns on which diabetic retinopathy (DR) detector relies to make decisions, we demonstrate the direct relation between the isolated neuron activation and lesions for a pathological explanation. To be specific, we first define novel pathological descriptors using activated neurons of the DR detector to encode both spatial and appearance information of lesions. Then, to visualize the symptom encoded in the descriptor, we propose Patho-GAN, a new network to synthesize medically plausible retinal images. By manipulating these descriptors, we could even arbitrarily control the position, quantity, and categories of generated lesions. We also show that our synthesized images carry the symptoms directly related to diabetic retinopathy diagnosis. Our generated images are both qualitatively and quantitatively superior to the ones by previous methods. Besides, compared to existing methods that take hours to generate an image, our second level speed endows the potential to be an effective solution for data augmentation.

  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

• Synergic Adversarial Label Learning for Grading Retinal Diseases via Knowledge Distillation and Multi-task Learning [29.46896757506273]
  Well-qualified doctors annotated images are very expensive and only a limited amount of data is available for various retinal diseases. Some studies show that AMD and DR share some common features like hemorrhagic points and exudation but most classification algorithms only train those disease models independently. We propose a method called synergic adversarial label learning (SALL) which leverages relevant retinal disease labels in both semantic and feature space as additional signals and train the model in a collaborative manner.
