Abstract

Diabetic Retinopathy (DR) is one of the most common preventable blindnesscondition around the world, where early detection of DR is necessary and requires thedevelopment of computer-aided diagnostic systems that are accurate, scalable andinterpretable. Despite success in classification, the recent deep learning models are still facing
