Abstract
An extended semi-supervised learning (ESSL) generative adversarial network (GAN) including metrics for evaluating training performance and a method for generating an estimated label vector y by the extended semi-supervised learning (ESSL) generative adversarial network (GAN) discriminator are described. Embodiments in accordance with the invention improve classification accuracy over convolutional neural networks with improved synthetic imagery
