Abstract
Diabetic Retinopathy (DR) is a serious eye condition that occurs due to high blood sugar levels in patients with Diabetes Mellitus. If left untreated, DR can potentially result in blindness. Using automated neural network-based methods to grade DR shows potential for early detection. However, the uneven and non-quadrilateral forms of DR lesions provide difficulties for traditional Convolutional Neural Network (CNN)-based architectures. To address this challenge and explore a novel algorithm architecture, this work delves into the usage of contrasting cluster assignments in retinal fundus images with the Swapping Assignments between multiple Views (SwAV) algorithm for DR grading. An ablation study was made where SwAV outperformed other CNN and Transformer-based models, independently and in ensemble configurations with an accuracy of 87.00% despite having fewer parameters and layers. The proposed approach outperforms existing state-of-the-art models regarding classification metrics, complexity, and prediction time. The findings offer great potential for medical practitioners, allowing for more accurate diagnosis of DR and earlier treatments to avoid visual loss.

Abstract
Computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) system assists ophthalmologists in early diabetic retinopathy (DR) detection by automating the analysis of retinal images, enabling timely intervention and treatment. This paper introduces a novel CAD system based on the global and multi-resolution analysis of retinal images. As a first step, we enhance the quality of the retinal images by applying a sequence of preprocessing techniques, which include the median filter, contrast limited adaptive histogram equalization (CLAHE), and the unsharp filter. These preprocessing steps effectively eliminate noise and enhance the contrast in the retinal images. Further, these images are represented at multi-scales using discrete wavelet transform (DWT), and center symmetric local binary pattern (CSLBP) features are extracted from each scale. The extracted CSLBP features from decomposed images capture the fine and coarse details of the retinal fundus images. Also, statistical features are extracted to capture the global characteristics and provide a comprehensive representation of retinal fundus images. The detection performances of these features are evaluated on a benchmark dataset using two machine learning models, i.e., SVM and k-NN, and found that the performance of the proposed work is considerably more encouraging than other existing methods. Furthermore, the results demonstrate that when wavelet-based CSLBP features are combined with statistical features, they yield notably improved detection performance compared to using these features individually.

Abstract
Complications in diabetes lead to diabetic retinopathy (DR) hence affecting the vision. Computerized methods performed a significant role in DR detection at the initial phase to cure vision loss. Therefore, a method is proposed in this study that consists of three models for localization, segmentation, and classification. A novel technique is designed with the combination of pre-trained ResNet-18 and YOLOv8 models based on the selection of optimum layers for the localization of DR lesions. The localized images are passed to the designed semantic segmentation model on selected layers and trained on optimized learning hyperparameters. The segmentation model performance is evaluated on the Grand-challenge IDRID segmentation dataset. The achieved results are computed in terms of mean IoU 0.95,0.94, 0.96, 0.94, and 0.95 on OD, SoftExs, HardExs, HAE, and MAs respectively. Another classification model is developed in which deep features are derived from the pre-trained Efficientnet-b0 model and optimized using a Genetic algorithm (GA) based on the selected parameters for grading of NPDR lesions. The proposed model achieved greater than 98 % accuracy which is superior to previous methods.

Abstract
Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is a kind of ocular complication of diabetes, and its degree grade is an essential basis for early diagnosis of patients. Manual diagnosis is a long and expensive process with a specific risk of misdiagnosis. Computer-aided diagnosis can provide more accurate and practical treatment recommendations. In this paper, we propose a multi-view joint learning DR diagnostic model called RT2Net, which integrates the global features of fundus images and the local detailed features of vascular images to reduce the limitations of single fundus image learning. Firstly, the original image is preprocessed using operations such as contrast-limited adaptive histogram equalization, and the vascular structure of the extracted DR image is segmented. Then, the vascular image and fundus image are input into two branch networks of RT2Net for feature extraction, respectively, and the feature fusion module adaptively fuses the feature vectors' output from the branch networks. Finally, the optimized classification model is used to identify the five categories of DR. This paper conducts extensive experiments on the public datasets EyePACS and APTOS 2019 to demonstrate the method's effectiveness. The accuracy of RT2Net on the two datasets reaches 88.2% and 85.4%, and the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) is 0.98 and 0.96, respectively. The excellent classification ability of RT2Net for DR can significantly help patients detect and treat lesions early and provide doctors with a more reliable diagnosis basis, which has significant clinical value for diagnosing DR.

Abstract
Many researchers have realized the intelligent medical diagnosis of diabetic retinopathy (DR) from fundus images by using deep learning methods, including supervised contrastive learning (SupCon). However, although SupCon brings label information into the calculation of contrastive learning, it does not distinguish between augmented positives and same-label positives. As a result, we propose the concept of Angular Margin and incorporate it into SupCon to address this issue. To demonstrate the effectiveness of our strategy, we tested it on two datasets for the detection and grading of DR. To align with previous work, Accuracy, Precision, Recall, F1, and AUC were selected as evaluation metrics. Moreover, we also chose alignment and uniformity to verify the effect of representation learning and UMAP (Uniform Manifold Approximation and Projection) to visualize fundus image embeddings. In summary, DR detection achieved state-of-the-art results across all metrics, with Accuracy = 98.91, Precision = 98.93, Recall = 98.90, F1 = 98.91, and AUC = 99.80. The grading also attained state-of-the-art results in terms of Accuracy and AUC, which were 85.61 and 93.97, respectively. The experimental results demonstrate that Angular Margin is an excellent intelligent medical diagnostic algorithm, performing well in both DR detection and grading tasks.

Abstract
Drug-phospholipid complexing is a promising formulation technology for improving the low bioavailability of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs). However, identifying whether phospholipid and candidate drug can form a complex through in vitro tests can be costly and time-consuming due to the physicochemical properties and experimental environment. In a previous study, the authors developed seven machine learning models to predict drug-phospholipid complex formation, and the lightGBM model demonstrated the best performance. However, the previous study was unable to sufficiently address the degradation of test performance caused by the small size of the training data with class imbalance, and it had the limitation of considering only machine learning techniques. To overcome these limitations, we propose a new deep learning-based prediction model that employs variational autoencoder (VAE) and principal component analysis (PCA) techniques to improve prediction performance. The model uses a multi-layer one-dimensional convolutional neural network (CNN) with a skip connection to effectively capture the complex relationship between drugs and lipid molecules. The computer simulation results demonstrate that our proposed model performs better than the previous model in all performance metrics.

Abstract
In this article, the development of a computer system for high-tech medical uses in ophthalmology is proposed. An overview of the main methods and algorithms that formed the basis of the coagulation plan planning system is presented. The system provides the formation of a more effective plan for laser coagulation in comparison with the use of existing coagulation techniques. An analysis of monopulse- and pattern-based laser coagulation techniques in the treatment of diabetic retinopathy has shown that modern treatment methods do not provide the required efficacy of medical laser coagulation procedures, as the laser energy is nonuniformly distributed across the pigment epithelium and may exert an excessive effect on parts of the retina and anatomical elements. The analysis has shown that the efficacy of retinal laser coagulation for the treatment of diabetic retinopathy is determined by the relative position of coagulates and parameters of laser exposure. In the course of the development of the computer system proposed herein, main stages of processing diagnostic data were identified. They are as follows: the allocation of the laser exposure zone, the evaluation of laser pulse parameters that would be safe for the fundus, mapping a coagulation plan in the laser exposure zone, followed by the analysis of the generated plan for predicting the therapeutic effect. In the course of the study, it was found that the developed algorithms for placing coagulates in the area of laser exposure provide a more uniform distribution of laser energy across the pigment epithelium when compared to monopulse- and pattern-based laser coagulation techniques.

Abstract
Diabetic Retinopathy (DR) is caused as a result of Diabetes Mellitus which causes development of various retinal abrasions in the human retina. These lesions cause hindrance in vision and in severe cases, DR can lead to blindness. DR is observed amongst 80% of patients who have been diagnosed from prolonged diabetes for a period of 10-15 years. The manual process of periodic DR diagnosis and detection for necessary treatment, is time consuming and unreliable due to unavailability of resources and expert opinion. Therefore, computerized diagnostic systems which use Deep Learning (DL) Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) architectures, are proposed to learn DR patterns from fundus images and identify the severity of the disease. This paper proposes a comprehensive model using 26 state-of-the-art DL networks to assess and evaluate their performance, and which contribute for deep feature extraction and image classification of DR fundus images. In the proposed model, ResNet50 has shown highest overfitting in comparison to Inception V3, which has shown lowest overfitting when trained using the Kaggle's EyePACS fundus image dataset. EfficientNetB4 is the most optimal, efficient and reliable DL algorithm in detection of DR, followed by InceptionResNetV2, NasNetLarge and DenseNet169. EfficientNetB4 has achieved a training accuracy of 99.37% and the highest validation accuracy of 79.11%. DenseNet201 has achieved the highest training accuracy of 99.58% and a validation accuracy of 76.80% which is less than the top-4 best performing models.

Abstract
Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is a late microvascular complication of Diabetes Mellitus (DM) that could lead to permanent blindness in patients, without early detection. Although adequate management of DM via regular eye examination can preserve vision in in 98% of the DR cases, DR screening and diagnoses based on clinical lesion features devised by expert clinicians; are costly, time-consuming and not sufficiently accurate. This raises the requirements for Artificial Intelligent (AI) systems which can accurately detect DR automatically and thus preventing DR before affecting vision. Hence, such systems can help clinician experts in certain cases and aid ophthalmologists in rapid diagnoses. To address such requirements, several approaches have been proposed in the literature that use Machine Learning (ML) and Deep Learning (DL) techniques to develop such systems. However, these approaches ignore the highly valuable clinical lesion features that could contribute significantly to the accurate detection of DR. Therefore, in this study we introduce a framework called DR-detector that employs the Extreme Gradient Boosting (XGBoost) ML model trained via the combination of the features extracted by the pretrained convolutional neural networks commonly known as transfer learning (TL) models and the clinical retinal lesion features for accurate detection of DR. The retinal lesion features are extracted via image segmentation technique using the UNET DL model and captures exudates (EXs), microaneurysms (MAs), and hemorrhages (HEMs) that are relevant lesions for DR detection. The feature combination approach implemented in DR-detector has been applied to two common TL models in the literature namely VGG-16 and ResNet-50. We trained the DR-detector model using a training dataset comprising of 1,840 color fundus images collected from e-ophtha, retinal lesions and APTOS 2019 Kaggle datasets of which 920 images are healthy. To validate the DR-detector model, we test the model on external dataset that consists of 81 healthy images collected from High-Resolution Fundus (HRF) dataset and MESSIDOR-2 datasets and 81 images with DR signs collected from Indian Diabetic Retinopathy Image Dataset (IDRID) dataset annotated for DR by expert. The experimental results show that the DR-detector model achieves a testing accuracy of 100% in detecting DR after training it with the combination of ResNet-50 and lesion features and 99.38% accuracy after training it with the combination of VGG-16 and lesion features. More importantly, the results also show a higher contribution of specific lesion features toward the performance of the DR-detector model. For instance, using only the hemorrhages feature to train the model, our model achieves an accuracy of 99.38 in detecting DR, which is higher than the accuracy when training the model with the combination of all lesion features (89%) and equal to the accuracy when training the model with the combination of all lesions and VGG-16 features together. This highlights the possibility of using only the clinical features, such as lesions that are clinically interpretable, to build the next generation of robust artificial intelligence (AI) systems with great clinical interpretability for DR detection. The code of the DR-detector framework is available on GitHub at https://github.com/Janga-Lab/DR-detector and can be readily employed for detecting DR from retinal image datasets.

Abstract
Diabetes is a long-term condition in which the pancreas quits producing insulin or the body's insulin isn't utilised properly. One of the signs of diabetes is Diabetic Retinopathy. Diabetic retinopathy is the most prevalent type of diabetes, if remains unaddressed, diabetic retinopathy can affect all diabetics and become very serious, raising the chances of blindness. It is a chronic systemic condition that affects up to 80% of patients for more than ten years. Many researchers believe that if diabetes individuals are diagnosed early enough, they can be rescued from the condition in 90% of cases. Diabetes damages the capillaries, which are microscopic blood vessels in the retina. On images, blood vessel damage is usually noticeable. Therefore, in this study, several traditional, as well as deep learning-based approaches, are reviewed for the classification and detection of this particular diabetic-based eye disease known as diabetic retinopathy, and also the advantage of one approach over the other is also described. Along with the approaches, the dataset and the evaluation metrics useful for DR detection and classification are also discussed. The main finding of this study is to aware researchers about the different challenges occurs while detecting diabetic retinopathy using computer vision, deep learning techniques. Therefore, a purpose of this review paper is to sum up all the major aspects while detecting DR like lesion identification, classification and segmentation, security attacks on the deep learning models, proper categorization of datasets and evaluation metrics. As deep learning models are quite expensive and more prone to security attacks thus, in future it is advisable to develop a refined, reliable and robust model which overcomes all these aspects which are commonly found while designing deep learning models.

Abstract
Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is a common complication of diabetes that can lead to progressive vision loss. Regular surveillance with fundal photography, early diagnosis, and prompt intervention are paramount to reducing the incidence of DR-induced vision loss. However, manual interpretation of fundal photographs is subject to human error. In this study, a new method based on horizontal and vertical patch division was proposed for the automated classification of DR images on fundal photographs. The novel sides of this study are given as follows. We proposed a new non-fixed-size patch division model to obtain high classification results and collected a new fundus image dataset. Moreover, two datasets are used to test the model: a newly collected three-class (normal, non-proliferative DR, and proliferative DR) dataset comprising 2355 DR images and the established open-access five-class Asia Pacific Tele-Ophthalmology Society (APTOS) 2019 dataset comprising 3662 images. Two analysis scenarios, Case 1 and Case 2, with three (normal, non-proliferative DR, and proliferative DR) and five classes (normal, mild DR, moderate DR, severe DR, and proliferative DR), respectively, were derived from the APTOS 2019 dataset. These datasets and these cases have been used to demonstrate the general classification performance of our proposal. By applying transfer learning, the last fully connected and global average pooling layers of the DenseNet201 architecture were used to extract deep features from input DR images and each of the eight subdivided horizontal and vertical patches. The most discriminative features are then selected using neighborhood component analysis. These were fed as input to a standard shallow cubic support vector machine for classification. Our new DR dataset obtained 94.06% and 91.55% accuracy values for three-class classification with 80:20 hold-out validation and 10-fold cross-validation, respectively. As can be seen from steps of the proposed model, a new patch-based deep-feature engineering model has been proposed. The proposed deep-feature engineering model is a cognitive model, since it uses efficient methods in each phase. Similar excellent results were seen for three-class classification with the Case 1 dataset. In addition, the model attained 87.43% and 84.90% five-class classification accuracy rates using 80:20 hold-out validation and 10-fold cross-validation, respectively, on the Case 2 dataset, which outperformed prior DR classification studies based on the five-class APTOS 2019 dataset. Our model attained about >2% classification results compared to others. These findings demonstrate the accuracy and robustness of the proposed model for classification of DR images.

Abstract
Many works have employed Machine Learning (ML) techniques in the detection of Diabetic Retinopathy (DR), a disease that affects the human eye. However, the accuracy of most DR detection methods still need improvement. Gray Wolf Optimization-Extreme Learning Machine (GWO-ELM) is one of the most popular ML algorithms, and can be considered as an accurate algorithm in the process of classification, but has not been used in solving DR detection. Therefore, this work aims to apply the GWO-ELM classifier and employ one of the most popular features extractions, Histogram of Oriented Gradients-Principal Component Analysis (HOG-PCA), to increase the accuracy of DR detection system. Although the HOG-PCA has been tested in many image processing domains including medical domains, it has not yet been tested in DR. The GWO-ELM can prevent overfitting, solve multi and binary classifications problems, and it performs like a kernel-based Support Vector Machine with a Neural Network structure, whilst the HOG-PCA has the ability to extract the most relevant features with low dimensionality. Therefore, the combination of the GWO-ELM classifier and HOG-PCA features might produce an effective technique for DR classification and features extraction. The proposed GWO-ELM is evaluated based on two different datasets, namely APTOS-2019 and Indian Diabetic Retinopathy Image Dataset (IDRiD), in both binary and multi-class classification. The experiment results have shown an excellent performance of the proposed GWO-ELM model where it achieved an accuracy of 96.21% for multi-class and 99.47% for binary using APTOS-2019 dataset as well as 96.15% for multi-class and 99.04% for binary using IDRiD dataset. This demonstrates that the combination of the GWO-ELM and HOG-PCA is an effective classifier for detecting DR and might be applicable in solving other image data types.

Abstract
Early diagnosis of retinal diseases such as diabetic retinopathy has had the attention of many researchers. Deep learning through the introduction of convolutional neural networks has become a prominent solution for image-related tasks such as classification and segmentation. Most tasks in image classification are handled by deep CNNs pretrained and evaluated on imagenet dataset. However, these models do not always translate to the best result on other datasets. Devising a neural network manually from scratch based on heuristics may not lead to an optimal model as there are numerous hyperparameters in play. In this paper, we use two nature-inspired swarm algorithms: particle swarm optimization (PSO) and ant colony optimization (ACO) to obtain TDCN models to perform classification of fundus images into severity classes. The power of swarm algorithms is used to search for various combinations of convolutional, pooling, and normalization layers to provide the best model for the task. It is observed that TDCN-PSO outperforms imagenet models and existing literature, while TDCN-ACO achieves faster architecture search. The best TDCN model achieves an accuracy of 90.3%, AUC ROC of 0.956, and a Cohen's kappa score of 0.967. The results were compared with the previous studies to show that the proposed TDCN models exhibit superior performance.

Abstract
Cases of diabetes and related diabetic retinopathy (DR) have been increasing at an alarming rate in modern times. Early detection of DR is an important problem since it may cause permanent blindness in the late stages. In the last two decades, many different approaches have been applied in DR detection. Reviewing academic literature shows that deep neural networks (DNNs) have become the most preferred approach for DR detection. Among these DNN approaches, Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) models are the most used ones in the field of medical image classification. Designing a new CNN architecture is a tedious and time-consuming approach. Additionally, training an enormous number of parameters is also a difficult task. Due to this reason, instead of training CNNs from scratch, using pre-trained models has been suggested in recent years as transfer learning approach. Accordingly, the present study as a review focuses on DNN and Transfer Learning based applications of DR detection considering 43 publications between 2015 and 2021. The published papers are summarized using 3 figures and 10 tables, giving information about 29 pre-trained CNN models, 13 DR data sets and standard performance metrics.

Abstract
International Diabetes Federation (IDF) reports that diabetes is one of the rapidly growing illnesses. About 463 million adults between 20-79 years have diabetes. There are also millions of undiagnosed patients. It is estimated that there will be about 578 million diabetics by 2030 [1]. Diabetes reasons different eye diseases. Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is one of them and is also one of the most common vision loss or blindness worldwide. DR progresses slowly and has few indicators in the early stages. It makes the diagnosis of DR a problematic task. Automated systems promise to support the diagnosis of DR. Many deep learning-based models have been developed for DR classification. This study aims to support ophthalmologists in the diagnosis process and increase the diagnosis performance of DR through a hybrid model. A publicly available Messidor-2 dataset was used in this study, comprised of retinal images. In the proposed model, first, images were pre-processed and a deep learning model, namely, InceptionV3 was used in feature extraction where a transfer learning approach is applied. Next, the number of features in obtained feature vectors was decreased with feature selection by Simulated Annealing (SA). Lastly, the best representation features were used in XGBoost model. The XGBoost algorithm gives an accuracy of 92.26% in a binary classification task. This study shows that a pre-trained ConvNet with a metaheuristic algorithm for feature selection gives a satisfactory result in the diagnosis of DR.

Abstract
Diabetic Retinopathy (DR) is defined as the Diabetes Mellitus difficulty that harms the blood vessels in the retina. It is also known as a silent disease and cause mild vision issues or no symptoms. In order to enhance the chances of effective treatment, yearly eye tests are vital for premature discovery. Hence, it uses fundus cameras for capturing retinal images, but due to its size and cost, it is a troublesome for extensive screening. Therefore, the smartphones are utilized for scheming low-power, small-sized, and reasonable retinal imaging schemes to activate automated DR detection and DR screening. In this article, the new DIY (do it yourself) smartphone enabled camera is used for smartphone based DR detection. Initially, the preprocessing like green channel transformation and CLAHE (Contrast Limited Adaptive Histogram Equalization) are performed. Further, the segmentation process starts with optic disc segmentation by WT (watershed transform) and abnormality segmentation (Exudates, microaneurysms, haemorrhages, and IRMA) by Triplet half band filter bank (THFB). Then the different features are extracted by Haralick and ADTCWT (Anisotropic Dual Tree Complex Wavelet Transform) methods. Using life choice-based optimizer (LCBO) algorithm, the optimal features are chosen from the mined features. Then the selected features are applied to the optimized hybrid ML (machine learning) classifier with the combination of NN and DCNN (Deep Convolutional Neural Network) in which the SSD (Social Ski-Driver) is utilized for the best weight values of hybrid classifier to categorize the severity level as mild DR, severe DR, normal, moderate DR, and Proliferative DR. The proposed work is simulated in python environment and to test the efficiency of the proposed scheme the datasets like APTOS-2019-Blindness-Detection, and EyePacs are used. The model has been evaluated using different performance metrics. The simulation results verified that the suggested scheme is provides well accuracy for each dataset than other current approaches.

Abstract
Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is an eye disease that alters the blood vessels of a person suffering from diabetes. Diabetic macular edema (DME) occurs when DR affects the macula, which causes fluid accumulation in the macula. Efficient screening systems require experts to manually analyze images to recognize diseases. However, due to the challenging nature of the screening method and lack of trained human resources, devising effective screening-oriented treatment is an expensive task. Automated systems are trying to cope with these challenges; however, these methods do not generalize well to multiple diseases and real-world scenarios. To solve the aforementioned issues, we propose a new method comprising two main steps. The first involves dataset preparation and feature extraction and the other relates to improving a custom deep learning based CenterNet model trained for eye disease classification. Initially, we generate annotations for suspected samples to locate the precise region of interest, while the other part of the proposed solution trains the Center Net model over annotated images. Specifically, we use DenseNet-100 as a feature extraction method on which the one-stage detector, CenterNet, is employed to localize and classify the disease lesions. We evaluated our method over challenging datasets, namely, APTOS-2019 and IDRiD, and attained average accuracy of 97.93% and 98.10%, respectively. We also performed cross-dataset validation with benchmark EYEPACS and Diaretdb1 datasets. Both qualitative and quantitative results demonstrate that our proposed approach outperforms state-of-the-art methods due to more effective localization power of CenterNet, as it can easily recognize small lesions and deal with over-fitted training data. Our proposed framework is proficient in correctly locating and classifying disease lesions. In comparison to existing DR and DME classification approaches, our method can extract representative key points from low-intensity and noisy images and accurately classify them. Hence our approach can play an important role in automated detection and recognition of DR and DME lesions.

Abstract
Diabetes is one of the most prevalent diseases in the world, which is a metabolic disorder characterized by high blood sugar. Diabetes complications are leading to Diabetic Retinopathy (DR). The early stages of DR may have either no sign or cause minor vision problems, but later stages of the disease can lead to blindness. DR diagnosis is an exceedingly difficult task because of changes in the retina during the disease stages. An automatic DR early detection method can save a patient's vision and can also support the ophthalmologists in DR screening. This paper develops a model for the diagnostics of DR. Initially, we extract and fuse the ophthalmoscopic features from the retina images based on textural gray-level features like co-occurrence, run-length matrix, as well as the coefficients of the Ridgelet Transform. Based on the retina features, the Sequential Minimal Optimization (SMO) classification is used to classify diabetic retinopathy. For performance analysis, the openly accessible retinal image datasets are used, and the findings of the experiments demonstrate the quality and efficacy of the proposed method (we achieved 98.87% sensitivity, 95.24% specificity, 97.05% accuracy on DIARETDB1 dataset, and 90.9% sensitivity, 91.0% specificity, 91.0% accuracy on KAGGLE dataset).

Abstract
A personalized medical approach can make diabetic retinopathy treatment more effective. To select effective methods of treatment, deep analysis and diagnostic data of a patient’s fundus are required. For this purpose, flat optical coherence tomography images are used to restore the three-dimensional structure of the fundus. Heat propagation through this structure is simulated via numerical methods. The article proposes algorithms for smooth segmentation of the retina for 3D model reconstruction and mathematical modeling of laser exposure while considering various parameters. The experiment was based on a two-fold improvement in the number of intervals and the calculation of the root mean square deviation between the modeled temperature values and the corresponding coordinates shown for the convergence of the integro-interpolation method (balance method). By doubling the number of intervals for a specific spatial or temporal coordinate, a decrease in the root mean square deviation takes place between the simulated temperature values by a factor of 1.7–5.9. This modeling allows us to estimate the basic parameters required for the actual practice of diabetic retinopathy treatment while optimizing for efficiency and safety. Mathematical modeling is used to estimate retina heating caused by the spread of heat from the vascular layer, where the temperature rose to 45 °C in 0.2 ms. It was identified that the formation of two coagulates is possible when they are located at least 180 μm from each other. Moreover, the distance can be reduced to 160 μm with a 15 ms delay between imaging.

Abstract
Diabetic Retinopathy (DR) refers to the damages endured by the retina as an effect of diabetes. DR has become a severe health concern worldwide, as the number of diabetes patients is soaring uncountably. Periodic eye examination allows doctors to detect DR in patients at an early stage to initiate proper treatments. Advancements in artificial intelligence and camera technology have allowed us to automate the diagnosis of DR, which can benefit millions of patients indeed. This paper inscribes a novel method for DR diagnosis based on the gray-level intensity and texture features extracted from fundus images using a decision tree-based ensemble learning technique. This study primarily works with the Asia Pacific Tele-Ophthalmology Society 2019 Blindness Detection (APTOS 2019 BD) dataset. We undertook several steps to curate its contents to make them more suitable for machine learning applications. Our approach incorporates several image processing techniques, two feature extraction techniques, and one feature selection technique, which results in a classification accuracy of 94.20% (margin of error: ±0.32%) and an F-measure of 93.51% (margin of error: ±0.5%). Several other parameters regarding the proposed method’s performance have been presented to manifest its robustness and reliability. Details on each employed technique have been included to make the provided results reproducible. This method can be a valuable tool for mass retinal screening to detect DR, thus drastically reducing the rate of vision loss attributed to it.

Abstract
Deep learning-based methods have achieved good performance in various recognition benchmarks mostly by utilizing single modalities. As different modalities contain complementary information to each other, multi-modal based methods are proposed to implicitly utilize them. In this paper, we propose a simple technique, called correspondence learning (CL), which explicitly learns the relationship among multiple modalities. The multiple modalities in the data samples are randomly mixed among different samples. If the modalities are from the same sample (not mixed), then they have positive correspondence, and vice versa. CL is an auxiliary task for the model to predict the correspondence among modalities. The model is expected to extract information from each modality to check correspondence and achieve better representations in multi-modal recognition tasks. In this work, we first validate the proposed method in various multi-modal benchmarks including CMU Multimodal Opinion-Level Sentiment Intensity (CMU-MOSI) and CMU Multimodal Opinion Sentiment and Emotion Intensity (CMU-MOSEI) sentiment analysis datasets. In addition, we propose a fraud detection method using the learned correspondence among modalities. To validate this additional usage, we collect a multi-modal dataset for fraud detection using real-world samples for reverse vending machines.
