Abstract
Diabetic retinopathy is the leading cause of vision loss. Optical coherence tomography-angiography is emerging as the potentially most promising technique for diagnosing DR. We circumvent the necessity for strong labels in these data with our multiple instance learning (MIL)-based network, MIL-ResNet14. MIL-ResNet14 is evaluated against two other proven capable classifiers, Res-Net14 and VGG16. All networks were assessed quantitatively by numerical classification values. MIL-ResNet14 showcased superior numerical classification abilities and turned to identify lesions more reliably. We conclude that MIL has a regularizing effect on inexactly labeled data and is a more reliable classifier than previously proposed methods.
