• Abstract: Techniques combining multiple images as input/output have proven to be effective data augmentations for training convolutional neural networks. In this paper, we present StackMix: Each input is presented as a concatenation of two images, and the label is the mean of the two one-hot labels. On its own, StackMix rivals other widely used methods in the "Mix" line of work. More importantly, unlike previous work, significant gains across a variety of benchmarks are achieved by combining StackMix with existing Mix augmentation, effectively mixing more than two images. E.g., by combining StackMix with CutMix, test error in the supervised setting is improved across a variety of settings over CutMix, including 0.8\% on ImageNet, 3\% on Tiny ImageNet, 2\% on CIFAR-100, 0.5\% on CIFAR-10, and 1.5\% on STL-10. Similar results are achieved with Mixup.We further show that gains hold for robustness to common input corruptions and perturbations at varying severities with a 0.7\% improvement on CIFAR-100-C, by combining StackMix with AugMix over AugMix. On its own, improvements with StackMix hold across different number of labeled samples on CIFAR-100, maintaining approximately a 2\% gap in test accuracy -- down to using only 5\% of the whole dataset -- and is effective in the semi-supervised setting with a 2\% improvement with the standard benchmark $\Pi$-model. Finally, we perform an extensive ablation study to better understand the proposed algorithm.

  We introduce a simple but effective augmentation strategy for multi-label image classification, namely SpliceMix. The "splice" in our method is two-fold: 1) Each mixed image is a splice of several downsampled images in the form of a grid, where the semantics of images attending to mixing are blended without object deficiencies for alleviating co-occurred bias; 2) We splice mixed images and the original mini-batch to form a new SpliceMixed mini-batch, which allows an image with different scales to contribute to training together.

  CutMix is a vital augmentation strategy that determines the performance and generalization ability of vision transformers (ViTs) Existing CutMix variants tackle this problem by generating more consistent mixed images or more precise mixed labels. We propose an efficient and effective Self-Motivated image Mixing method (SMMix) which motivates both image and label enhancement by the model under training itself.

  Recently advanced unsupervised learning approaches use the siamese-like framework to compare two "views" from the same image for learning representations. This work aims to involve the distance concept on label space in the unsupervised learning and let the model be aware of the soft degree of similarity between positive or negative pairs. Despite its conceptual simplicity, we show empirically that with the solution -- Unsupervised image mixtures (Un-Mix), we can learn subtler, more robust and generalized representations from the transformed input and corresponding new label space.
