Initially ,thank you so much for your code, for your answers and help . could you please explain why do you call this method self-supervised ? could you please point out the specific point that let you call it self-supervised? Thank you again ..

It's mainly because we don't use annotated data for training but instead use a self-supervised loss to train the model on unlabeled dataset.
