What is Data Augmentation?
Creating modified examples, such as transformed images, perturbed audio, or paraphrased text, to increase training diversity without collecting entirely new source data. It can reduce overfitting when the transformation preserves the task signal.
“Making more training data.”
What is the common confusion about Data Augmentation?
An augmentation must preserve the target label or behavior you want the model to learn.

- Regularization
Your model gets 99% on training data and 60% on test data. It memorized instead of learning. Regularization is the tax you impose on complexity to force generalization.
Covered in Phase 03: Deep Learning Core.
