The paper proposes a novel approach to improve the robustness of deep neural networks in medical image processing tasks by addressing the overfitting issue when faced with limited data. The method combines supervised contrastive learning with self-supervised pre-training and introduces a two-stage strategy to reduce false positives and negatives. The authors evaluate their approach on the BreakHis dataset, achieving an increase in classification accuracy of 1.45% compared to the state-of-the-art method, resulting in an absolute accuracy of 93.63%. This paper demonstrates the effectiveness of leveraging data properties to learn more appropriate representation spaces.

The paper helps us better understand how artificial intelligence can be used to improve medical image analysis. It shows a new way to make AI models less likely to overfit and more accurate when there is limited training data. The researchers tested their approach on images of breast cancer tissue and got a 1.45% improvement in accuracy, which is quite significant.
