Abstract
A method, computer system, and a computer program product are provided. A visual inspection machine learning model is trained using a generative adversarial network. Within the generative adversarial network a vector bypass is implemented. By transmitting a vector embedding representation of an unlabeled image through the vector bypass, the vector embedding representation is transmitted around the visual inspection machine learning model and to a generator to assist with image reconstruction.
