• Title: Assessing glaucoma in retinal fundus photographs using Deep Feature Consistent Variational Autoencoders
• Authors: Sayan Mandal, Alessandro A. Jammal and Felipe A. Medeiros
• Abstract summary: glaucoma is challenging to detect since it remains asymptomatic until the symptoms are severe. Early identification of glaucoma is generally made based on functional, structural, and clinical assessments. Deep learning methods have partially solved this dilemma by bypassing the marker identification stage and analyzing high-level information directly to classify the data.

• Abstract: One of the leading causes of blindness is glaucoma, which is challenging to detect since it remains asymptomatic until the symptoms are severe. Thus, diagnosis is usually possible until the markers are easy to identify, i.e., the damage has already occurred. Early identification of glaucoma is generally made based on functional, structural, and clinical assessments. However, due to the nature of the disease, researchers still debate which markers qualify as a consistent glaucoma metric. Deep learning methods have partially solved this dilemma by bypassing the marker identification stage and analyzing high-level information directly to classify the data. Although favorable, these methods make expert analysis difficult as they provide no insight into the model discrimination process. In this paper, we overcome this using deep generative networks, a deep learning model that learns complicated, high-dimensional probability distributions. We train a Deep Feature consistent Variational Autoencoder (DFC-VAE) to reconstruct optic disc images. We show that a small-sized latent space obtained from the DFC-VAE can learn the high-dimensional glaucoma data distribution and provide discriminatory evidence between normal and glaucoma eyes. Latent representations of size as low as 128 from our model got a 0.885 area under the receiver operating characteristic curve when trained with Support Vector Classifier.

  Fetal alcohol syndrome (FAS) caused by prenatal alcohol exposure can result in a series of cranio-facial anomalies.

We develop a new regularized transfer learning approach that exploits the knowledge of a network learned on large facial recognition datasets.
