The
system receives a plurality of medical images and integrates Self-Supervised
machine Learning (SSL) instructions for performing a
discriminative learning operation, a restorative learning operation, and an adversarial learning operation into a model for
processing the received plurality of medical images. The model is configured with each of a discriminative
encoder, a restorative decoder, and an adversarial
encoder. Each of the discriminative
encoder and the restorative decoder are configured to be skip connected, forming an encoder-decoder. Step-wise incremental training to incrementally
train each of the discriminative encoder, the restorative decoder, and the adversarial encoder is performed, in particular: pre-training the discriminative encoder via
discriminative learning; attaching the pre-trained discriminative encoder to the restorative decoder to configure the encoder-decoder as a pre-trained encoder-decoder; and training the pre-trained encoder-decoder of the model using joint discriminative and restorative learning. The pre-trained encoder-decoder is associated with the adversarial encoder. The pre-trained encoder-decoder associated with the adversarial encoder is trained through discriminative, restorative, and adversarial learning to render a trained model for the
processing of the received plurality of medical images. The plurality of medical images are processed through the model using the trained model.
