Q1. What contributions have the authors mentioned in the paper "Idrid: diabetic retinopathy -" ?
The recent scientific advances in computing capacity and machine learning approaches provide an avenue for biomedical scientists to reach this goal. In this paper, the authors report the set-up and results of this challenge that is primarily based on Indian Diabetic Retinopathy Image Dataset ( IDRiD ). This paper outlines the challenge, its organization, the dataset used, evaluation methods and results of top performing participating solutions. The authors observe that the top performing approaches utilize a blend of clinical information, data augmentation, and the ensemble of models.
