The proposed master's thesis investigates the adaptability and efficacy of self-supervised representation learning (SSL) in medical image analysis, focusing on Mammographic Imaging to develop robust representation learning models. This research will build upon existing studies in Mammographic Imaging that have utilized contrastive learning and knowledge distillation-based self-supervised methods, focusing on SimCLR (Chen et al 2020) and SimSiam (Chen et al 2020) and evaluate approaches to increase the classification performance in a transfer learning setting. The thesis will critically evaluate and integrate recent advancements in these SSL paradigms (Chhipa 2023, chapter 2), and incorporating additional SSL approaches. The core objective is to enhance robust generalization and label efficiency in medical imaging analysis, contributing to the broader field of AI-driven diagnostic methodologies. The proposed master's thesis will not only extend the current understanding of SSL in medical imaging but also aims to provide actionable insights that could be instrumental in enhancing breast cancer detection methodologies, thereby contributing significantly to the field of medical imaging and cancer research.
