Advancing Glaucoma Diagnosis: Employing Confidence-Calibrated Label Smoothing Loss for Model Calibration.

Objective: The aim of our research is to enhance the calibration of machine learning models for glaucoma classification through a specialized loss function named Confidence-Calibrated Label Smoothing (CC-LS) loss. This approach is specifically designed to refine model calibration without compromising accuracy by integrating label smoothing and confidence penalty techniques, tailored to the specifics of glaucoma detection.

Design: This study focuses on the development and evaluation of a calibrated deep learning model.

A Multi-Stage Approach for Cardiovascular Risk Assessment from Retinal Images Using an Amalgamation of Deep Learning and Computer Vision Techniques.

Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are a leading cause of mortality worldwide. Early detection and effective risk assessment are crucial for implementing preventive measures and improving patient outcomes for CVDs. This work presents a novel approach to CVD risk assessment using fundus images, leveraging the inherent connection between retinal microvascular changes and systemic vascular health.
