The need for powerful and flexible platforms for teaching and learning computer programming concepts is increasing due to the growing number of interested attendees. Although implementing a complete platform from scratch would achieve the best flexibility in terms of possible features, it also requires a huge time-consuming effort. This paper proposes Coderiu, a platform built on top of Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) packages suitably integrated to implement the desired learning platform. Such features include platform independence of code editing, which is achieved by leveraging a web-based Integrated Development Environment (IDE). The environment is extended with custom features to enable the automated testing of the solutions and the automatic remote backup of the working directories. Moreover, the architecture was made suitable to be used in classroom exams, which require a controlled environment. A critical aspect of the Coderiu platform, beside the integration of its components and modules, is represented by the scalability. The Coderiu platform is used by hundreds of students in case of courses in relatively small classes, while it is ready to serve a larger user base in the future. For this reason, requirements and performance are studied on a pilot installation to derive insights regarding the resources required for larger deployments.

Importance: Self-supervised contrastive learning (CL) based pretraining allows development of robust and generalized deep learning (DL) models with small, labeled datasets, reducing the burden of label generation. Application of CL in diabetic retinopathy (DR) diagnosis requires further investigation. Objective: To evaluate the effect of CL-based pretraining on the performance of referrable vs non referrable diabetic retinopathy (DR) classification. Design, Setting, and Participants: CL is a form of self-supervision that can leverage unlabeled data to produce pretrained models. We have developed a CL-based framework with neural style transfer (NST) augmentation to produce models with better representations and initializations for the detection of DR in color fundus images. We compare our model (FundusNet – a ResNet50 architecture pretrained with NST integrated CL framework) performance with two state-of-the-art baseline models (ResNet50 and InceptionV3 architectures pretrained with Imagenet weights). We further investigate the model performance with reduced labeled training-data (down to 10%) to test the robustness of the model when trained with small, labeled datasets. The model is trained and validated on the EyePACS dataset and tested independently on clinical data from the University of Illinois,Chicago (UIC). Exposure: CL pretrained DL algorithm. Main outcomes and measures: The sensitivity, specificity, and area under the receiver-operating-characteristic (ROC) curve (AUC) of the algorithm (95% confidence interval, CI) for detecting referable DR have been generated based on the reference labels created by an ophthalmologist panel. Results: The validation data from EyePACS consists of 88,692 images from 44,346 individuals. After data-curation, the dataset contains 57,722 non-referrable-DR and 13,247 referrable-DR images. The independent UIC dataset contains 2500 images from 1250 patients (500 referrable and 750 non-referrable DR). Compared to baseline models, ou
