Explainable Severity ranking via pairwise n-hidden comparison: a case study of glaucoma [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 Primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) is a chronic and progressive optic nerve condition that results in an acquired loss of optic nerve fibers and potential blindness. The gradual onset of glaucoma results in patients progressively losing their vision without being consciously aware of the changes.
