Analyzing Epistemic and Aleatoric Uncertainty for Drusen Segmentation in Optical Coherence Tomography Images [PDF]
arXiv, 2021 Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is one of the leading causes of permanent vision loss in people aged over 60 years. Accurate segmentation of biomarkers such as drusen that points to the early stages of AMD is crucial in preventing further vision impairment.

DeepSeeNet: A deep learning model for automated classification of patient-based age-related macular degeneration severity from color fundus photographs [PDF]
Ophthalmology. 2018 Nov 22. pii: S0161-6420(18)32185-7, 2018 In assessing the severity of age-related macular degeneration (AMD), the Age-Related Eye Disease Study (AREDS) Simplified Severity Scale predicts the risk of progression to late AMD. However, its manual use requires the time-consuming participation of expert practitioners.
