• Abstract summary: Conditional GANs (cGANs) provide a mechanism to control the generation process by conditioning the output on a user defined input. We propose a framework for semi-supervised training of cGANs which utilizes sparse labels to learn the conditional mapping. We demonstrate effectiveness of our method on multiple datasets and different conditional tasks.

• Abstract: Generative adversarial networks (GANs) have been remarkably successful in learning complex high dimensional real word distributions and generating realistic samples. However, they provide limited control over the generation process. Conditional GANs (cGANs) provide a mechanism to control the generation process by conditioning the output on a user defined input. Although training GANs requires only unsupervised data, training cGANs requires labelled data which can be very expensive to obtain. We propose a framework for semi-supervised training of cGANs which utilizes sparse labels to learn the conditional mapping, and at the same time leverages a large amount of unsupervised data to learn the unconditional distribution. We demonstrate effectiveness of our method on multiple datasets and different conditional tasks.

  Generative adversarial networks (GANs) are known for their abilities on capturing the underlying distribution of training instances. Existing GANs are almost established on the assumption that the training dataset is clean. In many real-world applications, this may not hold, that is, the training dataset may be contaminated by a proportion of undesired instances. Two purified generative adversarial networks (PuriGAN) are developed, in which the discriminators are augmented with the capability to distinguish between target and contaminated instances.

  Open-Set Semi-Supervised Continual Learning (OSSCL) is a more realistic semi-supervised continual learning setting. We present a model with two distinct parts: (i) the reference network captures general-purpose and task-agnostic knowledge in the environment by using a broad spectrum of unlabeled samples, and (ii) the learner network is designed to learn task-specific representations by exploiting supervised samples.

  We propose a training strategy for conditional GANs (cGANs) that effectively prevents the observed mode-collapse by leveraging unconditional learning. Our training strategy starts with an unconditional GAN and gradually injects conditional information into the generator and the objective function. The proposed method for training cGANs with limited data results not only in stable training but also in generating high-quality images.

  We introduce a novel theoretically motivated Class Balancing regularizer for training GANs. Our regularizer makes use of the knowledge from a pre-trained classifier to ensure balanced learning of all the classes in the dataset. We demonstrate the utility of our regularizer in learning representations for long-tailed distributions via achieving better performance than existing approaches over multiple datasets.

  Generative adversarial networks (GANs) have shown remarkable success in generating realistic data from some predefined prior distribution. In practice, semantic information might be represented by some latent distribution learned from data. We propose an LCCGAN model with local coordinate coding (LCC) to improve the performance of generating data.

• Lessons Learned from the Training of GANs on Artificial Datasets [0.0]
  Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) have made great progress in synthesizing realistic images in recent years. GANs are prone to underfitting or overfitting, making the analysis of them difficult and constrained. We train them on artificial datasets where there are infinitely many samples and the real data distributions are simple. We find that training mixtures of GANs leads to more performance gain compared to increasing the network depth or width.

• On Leveraging Pretrained GANs for Generation with Limited Data [83.32972353800633]
  generative adversarial networks (GANs) can generate highly realistic images, that are often indistinguishable (by humans) from real images. Most images so generated are not contained in a training dataset, suggesting potential for augmenting training sets with GAN-generated data. We leverage existing GAN models pretrained on large-scale datasets to introduce additional knowledge, following the concept of transfer learning. An extensive set of experiments is presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed techniques on generation with limited data.
