Title
How to Extract More Information with Less Burden: Fundus Image Classification and Retinal Disease Localization with Ophthalmologist Intervention
Abstract
Image classification using deep convolutional neural networks (DCNN) has a competitive performance as compare to other state-of-the-art methods. Here, attention can be visualized as a heatmap to improve the explainability of DCNN. We generated the initial heatmaps by using gradient-based classification activation map (Grad-CAM). We firstly assume that these Grad-CAM heatmaps can reveal the lesion regions well, then apply the attention mining on these heatmaps. Another, we assume that these Grad-CAM heatmaps can't reveal the lesion regions well then apply the dissimilarity loss on these Grad-CAM heatmaps. In this study, we asked the ophthalmologists to select 30% of the heatmaps. Furthermore, we design a knowledge preservation (KP) loss to minimize the discrepancy between heatmaps generated from the updated network and the selected heatmaps. Experiments revealed that our method improved accuracy from 90.1% to 96.2%. We also found that the attention regions are closer to the GT lesion regions.
