Description

Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is a leading cause of vision loss among people aged 55 and older. AMD can be classified into early, intermediate, and late stages; and it is critical to predicting progression to late AMD. Here, we propose a framework that combines deep learning and survival analysis to automatically predict progression to late AMD from color fundus photographs. Experiments on AREDS dataset demonstrated that our framework achieved state-of-the-art performance.

Learning Objective: 1. Understand the problem of late Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) progression prediction.
2. Apply the deep learning and survival model on color fundus photographs.
3. Test the survival model using c-index.
