Deep Ensemble Learning for Retinal Image Classification.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

Vision impairment affects 2.2 billion people worldwide, half of which is preventable with early detection and treatment. Currently, automatic screening of ocular pathologies using convolutional neural networks (CNNs) on retinal fundus photographs is limited to a few pathologies. Simultaneous detection of multiple ophthalmic pathologies would increase clinical usability and uptake.

Methods

Two thousand five hundred sixty images were used from the Retinal Fundus Multi-Disease Image Dataset (RFMiD). Models were trained (n = 1920) and validated (n = 640). Five selected CNN architectures were trained to predict the presence of any pathology and categorize the 28 pathologies. All models were trained to minimize asymmetric loss, a modified form of binary cross-entropy. Indi
