GAN Augmentation: Augmenting Training Data using Generative Adversarial Networks

Bowles, Christopher, Chen, Liang, Guerrero, Ricardo et al.

Understand

One of the biggest issues facing the use of machine learning in medical imaging is the lack of availability of large, labelled datasets.

  • The annotation of medical images is not only expensive and time consuming but also highly dependent on the availability of expert observers.
  • The limited amount of training data can inhibit the performance of supervised machine learning algorithms which often need very large quantities of data on which to train to avoid overfitting.
  • So far, much effort has been directed at extracting as much information as possible from what data is available.
