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.

What people say

“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.

  • OverfittingA generalization gap in which performance on training data is substantially better than performance on representative unseen data.
  • EpochOne traversal of the defined training dataset. In distributed or sampled training, the exact implementation of an epoch depends on the…
