Chaos-SSL: An Attention-Based Self-Supervised Learning Framework with Chaotic Transformation for Medical Image Classification 文章

arXiv:2605.27146v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Self-Supervised Learning (SSL) has emerged as a powerful paradigm to mitigate the reliance on large, annotated datasets, a common bottleneck in medical image analysis. However, standard SSL methods, which rely on simple geometric and color augmentations, may fail to capture the fine-grained, complex textural details necessary for classifying subtle pathologies. This paper introduces Chaos-SSL, a novel two-stage framework for medical image classification. In the first stage, we propose a new self-supervised pre-training strategy that leverages 1D chaotic maps (Logistic, Tent, and Sine) as a complex, non-linear augmentation for contrastive learning. We hypothesize that these chaotic transformations create ``harder'' and more semantically-rich views, forcing a network to learn robust representations of fine-grained medical textures.
