PROBLEM: Detecting COVID-19 from chest X-ray (CXR) images has become one of the fastest and easiest methods for detecting COVID-19. However, the existing methods usually use supervised transfer learning from natural images as a pretraining process. These methods do not consider the unique features of COVID-19 and the similar features between COVID-19 and other pneumonia.
AIM: In this paper, we want to design a novel high-accuracy COVID-19 detection method that uses CXR images, which can consider the unique features of COVID-19 and the similar features between COVID-19 and other pneumonia.
METHODS: Our method consists of two phases. One is self-supervised learning-based pertaining; the other is batch knowledge ensembling-based fine-tuning. Self-supervised learning-based pretraining can learn distinguished representations from CXR images without manually annotated labels. On the other hand, batch knowledge ensembling-based fine-tuning can utilize category knowledge of images in a batch according to their visual feature similarities to improve detection performance. Unlike our previous implementation, we introduce batch knowledge ensembling into the fine-tuning phase, reducing the memory used in self-supervised learning and improving COVID-19 detection accuracy.
RESULTS: On two public COVID-19 CXR datasets, namely, a large dataset and an unbalanced dataset, our method exhibited promising COVID-19 detection performance. Our method maintains high detection accuracy even when annotated CXR training images are reduced significantly (e.g., using only 10% of the original dataset). In addition, our method is insensitive to changes in hyperparameters.
CONCLUSION: The proposed method outperforms other state-of-the-art COVID-19 detection methods in different settings. Our method can reduce the workloads of healthcare providers and radiologists.
