• Abstract summary: We propose a three-player adversarial game-based end-to-end method to handle class imbalance in datasets. Rather than adversarial minority oversampling, we propose an adversarial oversampling (AO) and a data-space oversampling (DO) approach. The effectiveness of our proposed method has been validated with high-dimensional, highly imbalanced and large-scale multi-class datasets.

• Abstract: Traditional oversampling methods are generally employed to handle class imbalance in datasets. This oversampling approach is independent of the classifier; thus, it does not offer an end-to-end solution. To overcome this, we propose a three-player adversarial game-based end-to-end method, where a domain-constraints mixture of generators, a discriminator, and a multi-class classifier are used. Rather than adversarial minority oversampling, we propose an adversarial oversampling (AO) and a data-space oversampling (DO) approach. In AO, the generator updates by fooling both the classifier and discriminator, however, in DO, it updates by favoring the classifier and fooling the discriminator. While updating the classifier, it considers both the real and synthetically generated samples in AO. But, in DO, it favors the real samples and fools the subset class-specific generated samples. To mitigate the biases of a classifier towards the majority class, minority samples are over-sampled at a fractional rate. Such implementation is shown to provide more robust classification boundaries. The effectiveness of our proposed method has been validated with high-dimensional, highly imbalanced and large-scale multi-class tabular datasets. The results as measured by average class specific accuracy (ACSA) clearly indicate that the proposed method provides better classification accuracy (improvement in the range of 0.7% to 49.27%) as compared to the baseline classifier.

  We propose a novel intra-class adaptive augmentation (IAA) framework for deep metric learning. We reasonably estimate intra-class variations for every class and generate adaptive synthetic samples to support hard samples mining.

  Generalized Category Discovery (GCD) aims to discover novel categories in unlabelled datasets using knowledge learned from labelled samples. We investigate the failure of parametric classifiers, verify the effectiveness of previous design choices when high-quality supervision is available, and identify unreliable pseudo-labels as a key problem. We propose a simple yet effective parametric classification method that benefits from entropy regularisation, achieves state-of-the-art performance on multiple GCD benchmarks and shows strong robustness to unknown class numbers.

  Active learning aims to develop label-efficient algorithms by querying the most representative samples to be labeled by a human annotator. Current active learning techniques either rely on model uncertainty to select the most uncertain samples or use clustering or reconstruction to choose the most diverse set of unlabeled examples. We develop a semi-supervised minimax entropy-based active learning algorithm that leverages both uncertainty and diversity in an adversarial manner.

  In most real-world scenarios, labeled training datasets are highly class-imbalanced, where deep neural networks suffer from generalizing to a balanced testing criterion. In this paper, we explore a novel yet simple way to alleviate this issue by augmenting less-frequent classes via translating samples from more-frequent classes. Our experimental results on a variety of class-imbalanced datasets show that the proposed method improves the generalization on minority classes significantly compared to other existing re-sampling or re-weighting methods.
