Abstract

Fine-grained image classification with a few-shot classifier is a highly challenging open problem at the core of a numerous data labeling applications. In this paper, we present Few-shot Classifier Generative Adversarial Network as an approach for few-shot classification. We address the problem of few-shot classification by designing a GAN in which the discriminator and the generator compete to output labeled data in any case. In contrast to previous methods, our techniques generate then classify images into multiple fake or real classes. A key innovation of our adversarial approach is to allow fine-grained classification using multiple fake classes with semi-supervised deep learning. A major strength of our techniques lies in its label-agnostic characteristic, in the sense that the system handles both labeled and unlabeled data during training. We validate quantitatively our few-shot classifier on the MNIST and SVHN datasets by varying the ratio of labeled data over unlabeled data in the training set. Our quantitative analysis demonstrates that our techniques produce better classification performance when using multiple fake classes and larger amount of unlabelled data.
