• Abstract: Data augmentation is a ubiquitous technique for improving image classification when labeled data is scarce. Constraining the model predictions to be invariant to diverse data augmentations effectively injects the desired representational invariances to the model (e.g., invariance to photometric variations), leading to improved accuracy. Compared to image data, the appearance variations in videos are far more complex due to the additional temporal dimension. Yet, data augmentation methods for videos remain under-explored. In this paper, we investigate various data augmentation strategies that capture different video invariances, including photometric, geometric, temporal, and actor/scene augmentations. When integrated with existing consistency-based semi-supervised learning frameworks, we show that our data augmentation strategy leads to promising performance on the Kinetics-100, UCF-101, and HMDB-51 datasets in the low-label regime. We also validate our data augmentation strategy in the fully supervised setting and demonstrate improved performance.

  Contrastive Learning (CL) has emerged as one of the most successful paradigms for unsupervised visual representation learning. With the rise of generative models, especially diffusion models, the ability to generate realistic images close to the real data distribution has been well recognized. However, we find that the generated data (even from a good diffusion model like DDPM) may sometimes even harm contrastive learning.

  We address the lack of diversity in data augmentation with image-to-image transformations parameterized by pre-trained text-to-image diffusion models. Our method edits images to change their semantics using an off-the-shelf diffusion model, and generalizes to novel visual concepts from a few labelled examples. We evaluate our approach on few-shot image classification tasks, and on a real-world weed recognition task, and observe an improvement in accuracy in tested domains.

We propose an augmentation scheme that searches over the space of transformations by how uncertain the model is about the transformed data.
