Based Augmentation

Based augmentation leverages generative adversarial networks (GANs), and variations like Pix2PixGAN and StyleGAN2-ADA, to synthesize new data points similar to an existing dataset, thereby expanding training sets for machine learning models. Current research focuses on improving GAN architectures to generate higher-quality, more diverse synthetic data, addressing issues like mode collapse and bias amplification, and exploring the effectiveness of these methods across diverse data types, including medical images, audio, and sensor data. This approach is particularly valuable in domains with limited data availability, such as medical imaging and rare event detection, potentially enhancing the performance and generalizability of machine learning models in various scientific and practical applications.
