However, the success of these models is attributed to possessing a massive amount of labeled data for training, limiting their applicability in real-world scenarios. In such scenarios, sleep labs can generate a massive amount of data, but labeling can be expensive and time-consuming. Recently, the self-supervised learning (SSL) paradigm has emerged as one of the most successful techniques to overcome labels’ scarcity. In this paper, we evaluate the efficacy of SSL to boost the performance of existing SSC models in the few-labels regime. We conduct a thorough study on three SSC datasets, and we find that fine-tuning the pretrained SSC models with only 5% of labeled data can achieve competitive performance to the supervised training with full labels. Moreover, self-supervised pretraining helps SSC models to be more robust to data imbalance and domain shift problems. 收起
