Training of generative models especially Generative Adversarial Networks can easily diverge in low-data setting. To mitigate this issue, we propose a novel implicit data augmentation approach which facilitates stable training and synthesize diverse samples. Specifically, we view the discriminator as a metric embedding of the real data manifold, which offers proper distances between real data points. We then utilize information in the feature space to develop a data-driven augmentation method. We further bring up a simple metric to evaluate the diversity of synthesized samples. Experiments on few-shot generation tasks show our method improves FID and diversity of results compared to current methods, and allows generating high-quality and diverse images with less than 100 training samples.
