Abstract :Machine learning methods have been frequently used for the diagnosis of several diseases recently because of its reliability and convenience. In this paper, a comprehensive overview of the literature related to diabetes and diabetic retinopathy has been done and diagnosis of diabetic retinopathy disease is investigated. Artificial Neural Networks insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(ANN); method has been applied to the problem using Rapid Miner, a data mining tool. Some other methods have also adapted to the problem, but ANN based detection approach gave the best results. 88.52% sensitivity has been obtained using the features of Messidor dataset. Besides showing the success of ANN in diabetic retinopathy detection, this study also proved that Rapid Miner can be used effectively for the analysis of diabetic retinopathy.
