CLOSED LOOP AUTOMATIC DATASET CREATION SYSTEMS AND METHODS

Various techniques are provided for training a neural network to classify images. A convolutional neural network (CNN) is trained using training dataset comprising a plurality of synthetic images. The CNN training process tracks image-related metrics and other informative metrics as the training dataset is processed. The trained inference CNN may then be tested using a validation dataset of real images to generate performance results (e.g., whether a training image was properly or improperly labeled by the trained inference CNN). In one or more embodiments, a training dataset and analysis engine extracts and analyzes the informative metrics and performance results, generates parameters for a modified training dataset to improve CNN performance, and generates corresponding instructions to a synthetic image generator to generate a new training dataset. The process repeats in an iterative fashion to build a final training dataset for use in training an inference CNN.
