The current process of embryo selection in in vitro fertilization is based on morphological criteria; embryos are manually evaluated by embryologists under subjective assessment. In this study, a deep learning-based pipeline was developed to classify the viability of embryos using combined inputs, including microscopic images of embryos and additional features, such as patient age and developed pseudo-features, including a continuous interpretation of Istanbul grading scores by predicting the embryo stage, inner cell mass, and trophectoderm. For viability prediction, convolution-based transferred learning models were employed, multiple pretrained models were compared, and image preprocessing techniques and hyperparameter optimization via Optuna were utilized.
