• Abstract summary: We propose a method to restore the balance in imbalanced images, by coalescing two concurrent methods. In our model, generative and discriminative networks play a novel competitive game. The coalescing of capsule-GAN is effective at recognizing highly overlapping classes with much fewer parameters compared with the convolutional-GAN.

• Abstract: The fact that image datasets are often imbalanced poses an intense challenge for deep learning techniques. In this paper, we propose a method to restore the balance in imbalanced images, by coalescing two concurrent methods, generative adversarial networks (GANs) and capsule network. In our model, generative and discriminative networks play a novel competitive game, in which the generator generates samples towards specific classes from multivariate probabilities distribution. The discriminator of our model is designed in a way that while recognizing the real and fake samples, it is also requires to assign classes to the inputs. Since GAN approaches require fully observed data during training, when the training samples are imbalanced, the approaches might generate similar samples which leading to data overfitting. This problem is addressed by providing all the available information from both the class components jointly in the adversarial training. It improves learning from imbalanced data by incorporating the majority distribution structure in the generation of new minority samples. Furthermore, the generator is trained with feature matching loss function to improve the training convergence. In addition, prevents generation of outliers and does not affect majority class space. The evaluations show the effectiveness of our proposed methodology; in particular, the coalescing of capsule-GAN is effective at recognizing highly overlapping classes with much fewer parameters compared with the convolutional-GAN.

  Longtailed distributions frequently emerge in real-world data, where a large number of minority categories contain a limited number of samples. Recent investigations have revealed that supervised contrastive learning exhibits promising potential in alleviating the data imbalance. We propose a novel probabilistic contrastive (ProCo) learning algorithm that estimates the data distribution of the samples from each class in the feature space.

  Federated Learning (FL) has become a popular distributed learning paradigm that involves multiple clients training a global model collaboratively. The data samples usually follow a long-tailed distribution in the real world, and FL on the decentralized and long-tailed data yields a poorly-behaved global model. In this work, we integrate the local real data with the global gradient prototypes to form the local balanced datasets.
