Automatic generation of synthetic samples using dynamic deep autoencoders

Abstract

Statistical pattern recognition relies on substantial amount of annotated samples for better learning and learning is insufficient in low resource scenarios. Creating annotated databases itself is a challenging task, requires lot of effort and cost, which may not always be feasible. Such challenges are addressed by the present disclosure by generating synthetic samples through automatic transformation using Deep Autoencoders (DAE). An autoencoder is trained using all possible combination of pairs between a plurality of classes that could be formed from a limited number of handful samples in a low resource database, and then the DAE is used to generate new samples when one class samples are given as input to the autoencoder. Again, the system of the present disclosure can be configured to generate number of training samples as required. Also, the deep autoencoder can be dynamically configured to meet requirements.
