A method for harnessing unlabeled image data based on image in-painting. A generative model is trained to generate pixels within a missing hole, based on the context provided by surrounding parts of the image. These in-painted images are then used in an adversarial setting (Goodfellow et al., 2014) to train a large discriminator model whose task is to determine if the image was real (from the unlabeled training set) or fake (an in-painted image). The realistic looking fake examples provided by the generative model cause the discriminator to learn features that generalize to the related task of classifying objects. Thus adversarial training for the in-painting task can be used to regularize large discriminative models during supervised training on a handful of labeled images. Independently developed context-encoder approach of Pathak et al. (2016). This introduces an encoder-decoder framework, that is used to in-paint images where a patch has been randomly removed.
