Machine learning methods to identify risk factors for corneal graft rejection in keratoconus.

Machine learning can be used to identify risk factors associated with graft rejection after corneal transplantation for keratoconus. The study included all keratoconus eyes that underwent primary corneal transplantation from 1994 to 2021. Data relating to the recipient, donor, surgery, and postoperative course that might be associated with the occurrence of a graft rejection reaction were compiled.

A novel artificial intelligence model for diagnosing Acanthamoeba keratitis through confocal microscopy.

Purpose: To develop an artificial intelligence (AI) model to diagnose Acanthamoeba keratitis (AK) based on in vivo confocal microscopy (IVCM) images extracted from the Heidelberg Retinal Tomograph 3 (HRT 3).

Methods: This retrospective cohort study utilized HRT 3 IVCM images from patients who had received a culture-confirmed diagnosis of AK between 2013 and 2021 at Massachusetts Eye and Ear. Two cornea specialists independently labeled the images as AK or nonspecific finding (NSF) in a blind manner.

Efficiently improving the Wi-Fi-based human activity recognition, using auditory features, autoencoders, and fine-tuning.

Human activity recognition (HAR) based on Wi-Fi signals has attracted significant attention due to its convenience and the availability of infrastructures and sensors. Channel State Information (CSI) measures how Wi-Fi signals propagate through the environment. However, many scenarios and applications have insufficient training data due to constraints such as cost, time, or resources.

From the diagnosis of infectious keratitis to discriminating fungal subtypes; a deep learning-based study.

Infectious keratitis (IK) is a major cause of corneal opacity. IK can be caused by a variety of microorganisms. Typically, fungal ulcers carry the worst prognosis.

Semi-supervised segmentation of retinoblastoma tumors in fundus images.

Retinoblastoma is a rare form of cancer that predominantly affects young children as the primary intraocular malignancy. Studies conducted in developed and some developing countries have revealed that early detection can successfully cure over 90% of children with retinoblastoma. An unusual white reflection in the pupil is the most common presenting symptom.
