• Abstract: Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) have shown promise in augmenting datasets and boosting convolutional neural networks' (CNN) performance on image classification tasks. But they introduce more hyperparameters to tune as well as the need for additional time and computational power to train supplementary to the CNN. In this work, we examine the potential for Auxiliary-Classifier GANs (AC-GANs) as a 'one-stop-shop' architecture for image classification, particularly in low data regimes. Additionally, we explore modifications to the typical AC-GAN framework, changing the generator's latent space sampling scheme and employing a Wasserstein loss with gradient penalty to stabilize the simultaneous training of image synthesis and classification. Through experiments on images of varying resolutions and complexity, we demonstrate that AC-GANs show promise in image classification, achieving competitive performance with standard CNNs. These methods can be employed as an 'all-in-one' framework with particular utility in the absence of large amounts of training data.

  Deep learning methods are state-of-the-art for spectral image (SI) computational tasks. GANs enable diverse augmentation by learning and sampling from the data distribution. GAN-based SI generation is challenging since the high-dimensionality nature of this kind of data hinders the convergence of the GAN training yielding to suboptimal generation. We propose a statistical regularization to control the low-dimensional representation variance for the autoencoder training and to achieve high diversity of samples generated with the GAN.

  In this paper, we propose a new GANs called Involution Generative Adversarial Networks (GIU-GANs) GIU-GANs leverages a brand new module called the Global Information Utilization (GIU) module, which integrates Squeeze-and-Excitation Networks (SENet) and involution. Batch Normalization(BN) inevitably ignores the representation differences among noise sampled by the generator, and thus degrades the generated image quality.

  Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) have shown impressive performance in computer vision tasks such as image classification, detection, and segmentation. We propose an elegant curriculum based scheme that smoothes the feature embedding of a CNN using anti-aliasing or low-pass filters. As the amount of information in the feature maps increases during training, the network is able to progressively learn better representations of the data.
