Dr. Carolyn Yu Tung Wong | Medicine and Dentistry | Best Researcher Award

 Hong Kong SAR at  Faculty of Medicine, the Chinese University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong

In 2024, Wong C.Y.T. and colleagues published two significant articles in ophthalmology. The first, titled “The Role of Saliency Maps in Enhancing Ophthalmologists’ Trust in Artificial Intelligence Models”, explores how saliency maps can improve trust in AI models among ophthalmologists and appears in the Asia-Pacific Journal of Ophthalmology. This article has not yet received any citations. The second article, “Comparing Code-Free and Bespoke Deep Learning Approaches in Ophthalmology”, co-authored by Wong, O’Byrne, Taribagil, Antaki, and Keane, is featured in Graefe’s Archive for Clinical and Experimental Ophthalmology and has received one citation. This study contrasts code-free and bespoke deep learning methodologies in the field, providing valuable insights into their comparative effectiveness.
