Class Diversity

Class diversity, encompassing both intra-class (variations within a category) and inter-class (differences between categories) variability, is a crucial factor influencing the performance of machine learning models, particularly in image classification. Current research focuses on improving model generalization to unseen classes by leveraging intra-class diversity through techniques like soft labeling during pre-training, representing classes with multiple vectors instead of a single one, and incorporating diverse synthetic data generation. Addressing class imbalance and effectively utilizing this diversity is vital for enhancing model accuracy, robustness, and interpretability across various applications, including biomedical image analysis and zero-shot learning.
