Explainable Diabetic Retinopathy Classification Using Vision Foundation Models

Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is a major cause of preventable blindness, creating a need for accurate and trustworthy automated screening. This study investigates an explainable DR classification framework using vision foundation models and multiple transfer learning strategies. Three backbones, DINOv2, CLIP, and Vision Transformer (ViT), were evaluated using full fine-tuning, linear probing, and Low-...

Drivers of Oncologist Preference of AI-Generated Literature Review in a Randomized Mixed-Methods Study

Doctors increasingly rely on AI in the clinic, yet which report features make AI-generated responses useful and trustworthy remains unclear. In this randomized mixed-methods study, 34 oncology physicians provided 294 ratings of four blinded AI systems across five vignettes, alongside 20 semi-structured interviews analyzed with a prespecified LLM-assisted qualitative pipeline. Despite similar refer...
