Glaucoma is a common eye disease that can lead to blindness if not detected and treated early. In this paper, we present a machine learning-based approach for classifying glaucoma. We use a publicly available dataset of retinal images and extract features using convolutional neural networks. We compare the performance of different classifiers, including random forest, support vector machine, and XGBoost, and evaluate their accuracy, precision, recall, and F1 score. Our results show that the XGBoost classifier achieves the highest accuracy and F1 score, indicating its potential for diagnosing glaucoma in clinical practice.

Matching journals

The top 3 journals account for 50% of the predicted probability mass.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
