Özet

This study compares supervised, semi-supervised (EMA-FixMatch), and self-supervised (SimSiam) learning approaches on the TissueMNIST dataset to address the labeled data scarcity in histopathological image analysis. The ConvNeXt-Tiny architecture was used as the common backbone in all experiments; the models were tested under label ratios of 5%, 10%, and 100%. The results show that supervised learning achieved the highest performance with 71.4% accuracy in the fully labeled scenario; in the limited-label scenarios, the EMA-FixMatch method outperformed the SimSiam-based approach (65.1% with 10% labels; 59.5% with 5% labels). The results highlight the effectiveness of semi-supervised learning under data scarcity and the reliability of supervised transfer learning when sufficient data is available.
