Abstract Diabetic retinopathy is a critical eye condition that, if not treated, can lead to vision loss. Traditional methods of diagnosing and treating the disease are time-consuming and expensive. However, machine learning and deep transfer learning (DTL) techniques have shown promise in medical applications, including detecting, classifying, and segmenting diabetic retinopathy. These advanced techniques offer higher accuracy and performance. Computer-Aided Diagnosis (CAD) is crucial in speeding up classification and providing accurate disease diagnoses. Overall, these technological advancements hold great potential for improving the management of diabetic retinopathy. The study’s objective was to differentiate between different classes… More >

Abstract Association rules’ learning is a machine learning method used in finding underlying associations in large datasets. Whether intentionally or unintentionally present, noise in training instances causes overfitting while building the classifier and negatively impacts classification accuracy. This paper uses instance reduction techniques for the datasets before mining the association rules and building the classifier. Instance reduction techniques were originally developed to reduce memory requirements in instance-based learning. This paper utilizes them to remove noise from the dataset before training the association rules classifier. Extensive experiments were conducted to assess the accuracy of association rules with… More >
