Abstract

Generative adversarial networks (GANs) could be used efficiently for image and video generation when labeled training data is available in bulk. In general, building a good machine learning model requires a reasonable amount of labeled training data. However, there are areas such as the biomedical field where the creation of such a dataset is time-consuming and requires expert knowledge. Thus, the aim is to use data augmentation techniques as an alternative to data collection to improve data classification. This paper presents the use of a modified version of a GAN called Gene Expression Generator (GEG) to augment the available data samples. The proposed approach was used to generate synthetic data for binary biomedical datasets to train existing supervised machine learning approaches. Experimental results show that the use of GEG for data augmentation with a modified version of leave one out cross-validation (LOOCV) increases the performance of classification accuracy.

Notes

  1. 1.

    x denotes original (positive) instances, \(x'\) denotes synthetic (negative) instances, z is a random Gaussian noise. D(x) and \(D(x')\) are discriminator’s outputs for original and synthetic instances respectively, and G(z) is the generator’s output.
