To preventblindness, early detection and regular treatment are needed. Automated detectionbased on machine intelligence may assist the ophthalmologist in examining thepatients’ condition more accurately and efficiently. The purpose of this study is toproduce an automated screening system for recognition and grading of diabetic retinopathyusing machine learning through deep transfer and representational learning.The artificial intelligence technique used is transfer learning on the deep neural network,Inception-v4. Two configuration variants of transfer learning are applied onInception-v4: Fine-tune mode and fixed feature extractor mode. Both configurationmodes have achieved decent accuracy values, but the fine-tuning method outperformsthe fixed feature extractor configuration mode. Fine-tune configuration modehas gained 96.6% accuracy in early detection of DR and 97.7% accuracy in gradingthe disease and has outperformed the state of the art methods in the relevant literature.展开更多
