New AI framework enhances glaucoma detection using attention and ensemble learning

Researchers have developed a novel framework for detecting glaucoma by combining attention-enhanced deep feature extraction with heterogeneous ensemble learning. This approach utilizes InceptionV3 and the Convolutional Block Attention Module (CBAM) to refine deep features, improving the model's focus on clinically relevant retinal regions. To enhance classification robustness and address class imbalance, the framework incorporates ensemble learning strategies (SLE and DLE) and the SMOTE+TL technique. Experiments on public datasets show that this attention-enhanced deep feature method outperforms traditional deep features and handcrafted features, with Grad-CAM visualizations providing interpretable evidence of its predictions.
