Improving Deep Learning with Generic Data Augmentation

Taylor, Luke, Nitschke, Geoff·2018·2018 IEEE Symposium Series on Computational Intelligence (SSCI)

Abstract

Deep artificial neural networks require a large corpus of training data in order to effectively learn, where collection of such training data is often expensive and laborious.Data augmentationovercomes this issue by artificially inflating the training set with label preserving transformations. Recently there has been extensive use of generic data augmentation to improveConvolutional Neural Network(CNN) task performance. This study benchmarks various popular data augmentation schemes to allow researchers to make informed decisions as to which training methods are most appropriate for their data sets. Various geometric and photometric schemes are evaluated on a coarse-grained data set using a relatively simple CNN. Experimental results, run using 4-fold cross-validation and reported in terms of Top-1 and Top-5 accuracy, indicate that croppingin geometric augmentationsignificantly increases CNN task performance.

Claims the paper makes

This paper’s full text isn’t openly available, so its claims and self-check weren’t run. The registry and citation checks still apply.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Data augmentation can increase the quantity and diversity of data available for training ML algorithms, improving the accuracy and reliability of results.

    “One approach is the use of data augmentation [46], which involves the generation of synthetic data to supplement existing datasets. This can increase the quantity and diversity of the data available for training ML algorithms, improving the accuracy and reliability of the results [47].”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
