Breast mass classification based on supervised contrastive learning and multi‐view consistency penalty on mammography by Lilei Sun, Jie Wen, Junqian Wang, Zheng Zhang, Yong Zhao, Guiying Zhang, Yong Xu

“…A multi‐view network is designed to extract the complementary information between the Craniocaudal (CC) and Mediolateral Oblique (MLO) mammographic views of a breast mass. For the different predictions of the features extracted from the CC view and MLO view of the same breast mass, the proposed algorithm forces the network to extract the consistent features from the two views by the cross‐entropy function with an added consistent penalty term. …”
