Generative Augmented Dataset and Annotation Frameworks for Artificial Intelligence (GADAFAI)

Recent Advances in Artificial Intelligence (AI), particularly in the field of compute vision, have been driven by the availability of large public datasets. However, as AI begins to move into embedded devices there will be a growing need for tools to acquire and re-acquire datasets from specific sensing systems to train new device models. In this paper, a roadmap in introduced for a data-acquisition framework that can build the large synthetic datasets required to train AI systems from small seed datasets. A key element to justify such a framework is the validation of the generated dataset and example results are shown from preliminary work on biometric (facial) datasets.
