• Abstract: Deep learning approaches deliver state-of-the-art performance in recognition of spatiotemporal human motion data. However, one of the main challenges in these recognition tasks is limited available training data. Insufficient training data results in over-fitting and data augmentation is one approach to address this challenge. Existing data augmentation strategies based on scaling, shifting and interpolating offer limited generalizability and typically require detailed inspection of the dataset as well as hundreds of GPU hours for hyperparameter optimization. In this paper, we present a novel automatic data augmentation model, the Imaginative Generative Adversarial Network (GAN), that approximates the distribution of the input data and samples new data from this distribution. It is automatic in that it requires no data inspection and little hyperparameter tuning and therefore it is a low-cost and low-effort approach to generate synthetic data. We demonstrate our approach on small-scale skeleton-based datasets with a comprehensive experimental analysis. Our results show that the augmentation strategy is fast to train and can improve classification accuracy for both conventional neural networks and state-of-the-art methods.

• Enhancing Activity Recognition After Stroke: Generative Adversarial Networks for Kinematic Data Augmentation [0.0]
  Generalizability of machine learning models for wearable monitoring in stroke rehabilitation is often constrained by the limited scale and heterogeneity of available data. Data augmentation addresses this challenge by adding computationally derived data to real data to enrich the variability represented in the training set. This study employs Conditional Generative Adversarial Networks (cGANs) to create synthetic kinematic data from a publicly available dataset. By training deep learning models on both synthetic and experimental data, we enhanced task classification accuracy: models incorporating synthetic data attained an overall accuracy of 80.0%, significantly higher than the 66.1% seen in models trained solely with real data
