摘要:

今天,超过1200万40岁以上的人患有眼部疾病。最常见的是,老年患者易患年龄相关性黄斑变性,这是一种由于视网膜退化而导致中心视力模糊的眼病。前者只能通过复杂而昂贵的成像软件来检测,特别是视野测试;这使得大量人口患有未经治疗的眼病,并使他们面临完全丧失视力的风险。已经提出使用机器学习算法来治疗眼病。然而,这些模型的发展受到限制,缺乏适当的模型和训练参数,以最大限度地提高模型性能的理解。在我们的研究中,我们通过生成6个模型来解决这些问题,每个模型的学习率为1 * 10^n,其中n为0,-1,-2,... -6,并计算每个模型的f1得分。我们的分析表明,样本不平衡是机器学习模型训练中的一个关键挑战,可能导致训练成本的欺骗性改善,而这并不能转化为模型预测性能的真正改善。考虑到这种疾病的广泛影响及其不良影响,我们开发了一种机器学习算法来治疗这种疾病。我们在由5000多名患者组成的不同眼疾数据集上训练了我们的模型,以及他们受感染眼睛的照片。在未来,我们希望这种模式被广泛使用,特别是在资源不足的地区,以更好地诊断眼疾并改善人类的福祉。

英文摘要:

Today, more than 12 million people over the age of 40 suffer from ocular diseases. Most commonly, older patients are susceptible to age related macular degeneration, an eye disease that causes blurring of the central vision due to the deterioration of the retina. The former can only be detected through complex and expensive imaging software, markedly a visual field test; this leaves a significant population with untreated eye disease and holds them at risk for complete vision loss. The use of machine learning algorithms has been proposed for treating eye disease. However, the development of these models is limited by a lack of understanding regarding appropriate model and training parameters to maximize model performance. In our study, we address these points by generating 6 models, each with a learning rate of 1 * 10^n where n is 0, -1, -2, ... -6, and calculated a f1 score for each of the models. Our analysis shows that sample imbalance is a key challenge in training of machine learning models and can result in deceptive improvements in training cost which does not translate to true improvements in model predictive performance. Considering the wide ranging impact of the disease and its adverse effects, we developed a machine learning algorithm to treat the same. We trained our model on varying eye disease datasets consisting of over 5000 patients, and the pictures of their infected eyes. In the future, we hope this model is used extensively, especially in areas that are under-resourced, to better diagnose eye disease and improve well being for humanity.
