More Details: Chest radiography is a relatively cheap, widely available medical procedure that conveys key information for making diagnostic decisions. Chest X-rays are almost always used in the diagnosis of respiratory diseases such as pneumonia or the recent COVID-19. In this paper, we propose a self-supervised deep neural network that is pretrained on an unlabeled chest X-ray dataset. The learned representations are transferred to downstream task - the classification of respiratory diseases. The results obtained on four public datasets show that our approach yields competitive results without requiring large amounts of labeled training data.
