Diabetic Retinopathy (DR) is progressive syndrome that leads to loss of vision if not detected and treated. Retina is inner tunic of the eyeball which is capillary and delicate transparent membrane. It is high developed tissue of eye which plays a major role for vision. Retina is the source for detection of many disorders. Part of retina with optic disc can be viewed through optamoloscope and termed as fundus image which is a basis of diagnosis for DR. DR can be categorized as Proliferative Diabetic Retinopathy (PDR), Diabetic Maculopathy, Nonproliferative Diabetic Retinopathy (NPDR) and Advanced Diabetic Eye Disease. Machine Learning (ML) techniques play a vital role in early detection of DR. In this paper a review on the existing techniques with open issues to be addressed is presented for diagnosing DR and model is proposed to consider the features namely Microaneurysms, Retinal Hemorrhages, Hard exudates, Cotton wool Spots, Neovascularization for classification of DR. These features can be combined with hypertension to predict other disorders like stroke, chronic heart disease, renal dysfunction, cardiovascular mortality and so on which overcome the need of other preliminary checkup .The complete profile of disorders for a diabetic patient can be deduced by the retinal fundus image.

Feature Selection Techniques

Diabetic retinopathy is one of the common forms of diabetic eye disease. DR occurs due to a high ratio of glucose in the blood, which causes alterations in the retinal vessels. Machine learning may be a broad multidisciplinary field that has its roots in statistics, algebra, data processing, and information analytics, etc. Machine learning is used to discover patterns from medical data and provide an efficient way to predict diseases.ML is an application of artificial intelligence it collects information from training data. There are several machine learning techniques are used for the diagnosis of diabetic retinopathy. This paper mainly focuses on the survey of such techniques and also various feature selection mechanisms. This study provides the basic categorization of feature selection techniques and discussing their use.

The complication of people with diabetes causes an illness known as Diabetic Retinopathy (DR). It is very widespread among middle-aged and older people. As diabetes progresses, patients' vision may deteriorate and cause DR. People to lose their vision because of this illness. To cope with DR, early detection is needed. Patients will have to be checked by doctors regularly, which is a waste of time and energy. DR can be divided into two groups: non-proliferative (NPDR) while the other is proliferative (PDR). In this study, machine learning (ML) techniques are used to diagnose DR early. These are PNN, SVM, Bayesian Classification, and K-Means Clustering. These techniques will be evaluated and compared with each other to choose the best methodology. A total of 300 fundus photographs are processed for training and testing. The features are extracted from these raw images using image processing techniques. After an experiment, it is concluded that PNN has an accuracy of about 89%, Bayes Classifications 94%, SVM 97%, and K-Means Clustering 87%. The preliminary results prove that SVM is the best technique for early detection of DR.

Early detection of exposure to a toxic chemical, e.g., in a military context, can be life-saving. We propose to use machine learning techniques and multiple continuously measured physiological signals to detect exposure, and to identify the chemical agent. Such detection and identification could be used to alert individuals to take appropriate medical counter measures in time. As a first step, we evaluated whether exposure to an opioid (fentanyl) or a nerve agent (VX) could be detected in freely moving guinea pigs using features from respiration, electrocardiography (ECG) and electroencephalography (EEG), where machine learning models were trained and tested on different sets (across subject classification). Results showed this to be possible with close to perfect accuracy, where respiratory features were most relevant. Exposure detection accuracy rose steeply to over 95% correct during the first five minutes after exposure. Additional models were trained to correctly classify an exposed state as being induced either by fentanyl or VX. This was possible with an accuracy of almost 95%, where EEG features proved to be most relevant. Exposure detection models that were trained on subsets of animals generalized to subsets of animals that were exposed to other dosages of different chemicals. While future work is required to validate the principle in other species and to assess the robustness of the approach under different, realistic circumstances, our results indicate that utilizing different continuously measured physiological signals for early detection and identification of toxic agents is promising.

Retinal Structure

Diabetes affects retinal structure of a diabetic patient by generating various lesions. Early detection of these lesions can avoid the loss of vision. Automation of detection process can be made easily feasible to masses by the use of fundus imaging. Detection of exudates is significant in diabetic retinopathy (DR) as they are earlier signs and can cause blindness. Finding the exact location as well as correct number of exudates play vital role in the overall treatment of a patient. This paper presents an algorithm for automatic detection of exudates for DR. The algorithm combines the advantages of supervised and unsupervised techniques. It uses fuzzy-C means (FCM) segmentation on coarse level and mahalanobis metric for finer classification of segmented pixels. Mahalanobis criterion gives significance to most relevant features and thus proves a better classifier. The results are validated using DIARETDB0 and DIARETDB1 databases and the ground truth provided with it. This evaluation provided 95.77% detection accuracy.

Incorporating substantial, sustainable development issues into teaching and learning is the ultimate task of Education for Sustainable Development (ESD). The purpose of our study was to identify the confused students who had failed to master the skill(s) given by the tutors as homework using the Intelligent Tutoring System (ITS). We have focused ASSISTments, an ITS in this study, and scrutinized the skill-builder data using machine learning techniques and methods. We used seven candidate models including: Naïve Bayes (NB), Generalized Linear Model (GLM), Logistic Regression (LR), Deep Learning (DL), Decision Tree (DT), Random Forest (RF), and Gradient Boosted Trees (XGBoost). We trained, validated, and tested learning algorithms, performed stratified cross-validation, and measured the performance of the models through various performance metrics, i.e., ROC (Receiver Operating Characteristic), Accuracy, Precision, Recall, F-Measure, Sensitivity, and Specificity. We found RF, GLM, XGBoost, and DL were high accuracy-achieving classifiers. However, other perceptions such as detecting unexplored features that might be related to the forecasting of outputs can also boost the accuracy of the prediction model. Through machine learning methods, we identified the group of students that were confused when attempting the homework exercise, to help foster their knowledge and talent to play a vital role in environmental development.
