• Abstract summary: We present a flexible, general Automatic Mixup framework which utilizes discriminative features to learn a sample mixing policy adaptively. We regard mixup as a pretext task and split it into two sub-problems: mixed samples generation and mixup classification. Experiments on six popular classification benchmarks show that AutoMix consistently outperforms other leading mixup methods.

• Abstract: Mixup-based data augmentation has achieved great success as regularizer for deep neural networks. However, existing mixup methods require explicitly designed mixup policies. In this paper, we present a flexible, general Automatic Mixup (AutoMix) framework which utilizes discriminative features to learn a sample mixing policy adaptively. We regard mixup as a pretext task and split it into two sub-problems: mixed samples generation and mixup classification. To this end, we design a lightweight mix block to generate synthetic samples based on feature maps and mix labels. Since the two sub-problems are in the nature of Expectation-Maximization (EM), we also propose a momentum training pipeline to optimize the mixup process and mixup classification process alternatively in an end-to-end fashion. Extensive experiments on six popular classification benchmarks show that AutoMix consistently outperforms other leading mixup methods and improves generalization abilities to downstream tasks. We hope AutoMix will motivate the community to rethink the role of mixup in representation learning. The code will be released soon.

  We propose a novel mixup method named SynerMix-Intra and, building upon this, introduce a synergistic mixup solution named SynerMix. SynerMix-Intra targets intra-class mixup to bolster intra-class cohesion, a feature not addressed by current mixup methods. Experiments show that SynerMix achieves a 0.1% to 3.43% higher accuracy than the best of either MixUp or SynerMix-Intra alone, averaging a 1.16% gain.

• Infinite Class Mixup [26.48101652432502]
  Mixup is a strategy for training deep networks where additional samples are augmented by interpolating inputs and labels of training pairs. This paper seeks to address this cornerstone by mixing the classifiers directly instead of mixing the labels for each mixed pair. We show that Infinite Class Mixup outperforms standard Mixup and variants such as RegMixup and Remix on balanced, long-tailed, and data-constrained benchmarks.
