Data Augmentation Strategy
Data augmentation strategies aim to enhance the performance of machine learning models, particularly in scenarios with limited training data, by artificially expanding the dataset with modified versions of existing samples. Current research focuses on optimizing augmentation techniques for specific model architectures (e.g., convolutional neural networks, vision transformers) and tasks (e.g., image classification, object detection, sequential recommendation), often employing automated search algorithms or generative models to identify effective augmentation policies. These advancements are crucial for improving model robustness, accuracy, and efficiency across diverse applications, ranging from medical image analysis and industrial predictive maintenance to natural language processing and reinforcement learning.
