In this work, we proposed a new approach to analyzing eye fundus images that relies upon the use of a convolutional neural network (CNN). The CNN architecture was constructed, followed by network learning on a balanced dataset composed of four classes of images, composed of thick and thin blood vessels, healthy areas, and exudate areas. The learning was conducted on 12x12 images because an experimental study showed them to be optimal for the purpose. The test error was no higher than 4% for all sizes of the samples. Segmentation of eye fundus images was performed using the CNN. Considering that exudates are a primary target of laser coagulation surgery, the segmentation error was calculated on the exudate class, amounting to 5%. In the course of this research, the HSL color system was found to be most informative, using which the segmentation error was reduced to 3%.

Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is eye diseases caused by diabetic mellitus or sugar diseases. If DR is detected in early stage, the blindness that follow can be prevented. Ophthalmologist or eye clinician usually decide the stage of DR from retinal fundus images. Careful examination of retinal fundus images is time consuming task and require experienced clinicians or ophthalmologist but a computer which has been trained to recognize the DR stages can diagnose and give result in real-time manner. One approach of algorithm to train a computer to recognize an image is deep learning Convolutional Neural Network (CNN). CNN allows a computer to learn the features of an image, in our case is retinal fundus image, automatically. Preprocessing is usually done before a CNN model is trained. In this study, four preprocessing were carried out. Of the four preprocessing tested, preprocessing with CLAHE and unsharp masking on the green channel of the retinal fundus image give the best results with an accuracy of 79.79%, 82.97% precision, 74.64% recall, and 95.81% AUC. The CNN architecture used is Inception v3.

: Diabetic Retinopathy is the leading cause of vision impairment and its early stage diagnosis relies on regular monitoring and timely treatment for anomalies exhibiting subtle distinction among different severity grades. The existing Diabetic Retinopathy (DR) detection approaches are subjective, laborious and time consuming which can only be carried out by skilled professionals. All the patents related to DR detection and diagnoses applicable for our research problem were revised by the authors. The major limitation in classification of severities lies in poor discrimination between actual lesions, background noise and other anatomical structures. A robust and computationally efficient Two-Tier DR (2TDR) grading system is proposed in this paper to categorize various DR severities (mild, moderate and severe) present in retinal fundus images. In the proposed 2TDR grading system, input fundus image is subjected to background segmentation and the foreground fundus image is used for anomaly identification followed by GLCM feature extraction forming an image feature set. The novelty of our model lies in the exhaustive statistical analysis of extracted feature set to obtain optimal reduced image feature set employed further for classification. Classification outcomes are obtained for both extracted as well as reduced feature set to validate the significance of statistical analysis in severity classification and grading. For single tier classification stage, the proposed system achieves an overall accuracy of 100% by k- Nearest Neighbour (kNN) and Artificial Neural Network (ANN) classifier. In second tier classification stage an overall accuracy of 95.3% with kNN and 98.0% with ANN is achieved for all stages utilizing optimal reduced feature set. 2TDR system demonstrates overall improvement in classification performance by 2% and 6% for kNN and ANN respectively after feature set reduction, and also outperforms the accuracy obtained by other state of the art methods when applied to the MESSIDOR dataset. This application oriented work aids in accurate DR classification for effective diagnosis and timely treatment of severe retinal ailment.

Information plane analysis, describing the mutual information between the input and a hidden layer and between a hidden layer and the target over time, has recently been proposed to analyze the training of neural networks. Since the activations of a hidden layer are typically continuous-valued, this mutual information cannot be computed analytically and must thus be estimated, resulting in apparently inconsistent or even contradicting results in the literature. The goal of this paper is to demonstrate how information plane analysis can still be a valuable tool for analyzing neural network training. To this end, we complement the prevailing binning estimator for mutual information with a geometric interpretation. With this geometric interpretation in mind, we evaluate the impact of regularization and interpret phenomena such as underfitting and overfitting. In addition, we investigate neural network learning in the presence of noisy data and noisy labels.

A number of matrix flows, based on isospectral and isodirectional flows, is studied and modified for the purpose of local implementability on a network structure. The flows converge to matrices with a predefined spectrum and eigenvectors which are determined by an external signal. The flows can be useful for adaptive signal processing applications and are applied to neural network learning.
