In this paper, we propose a novel effective framework to expand an existing image dataset automatically leveraging existing categories and crowdsourcing. Especially, in this paper, we focus on expansion on food image data set. The number of food categories is uncountable, since foods are different from a place to a place. If we have a Japanese food dataset, it does not help build a French food recognition system directly. That is why food data sets for different food cultures have been built independently so far. Then, in this paper, we propose to leverage existing knowledge on food of other cultures by a generic "foodness" classifier and domain adaptation. This can enable us not only to built other-cultured food datasets based on an original food image dataset automatically, but also to save as much crowd-sourcing costs as possible.In the experiments, we show the effectiveness of the proposed method over the baselines.
