autoDataAugmentation

AutoAug

背景：

Data augmentation is a effective technique to increase both the amount and diversity of data by randomly “augmenting” it.

直觉上讲，数据增强教会了模型数据不变性

目标：

we aim to automate the process of finding an effective data augmentation policy for a target dataset.

use Reinforcement Learning as the search algorithm

优点：

1. AutoAugment can be applied directly on the dataset of interest to find the best augmentation policy (AutoAugment-direct)

2. learned policies can be transferred to new datasets (AutoAugment-transfer). that policies found on one task can generalize well across different models and datasets.

• each operation being an image processing function such as translation, rotation, or shearing and the probabilities and magnitudes
• search algorithm to find
