• Authors: Loris Nanni, Michelangelo Paci, Sheryl Brahnam and Alessandra Lumini
• Abstract summary: In image classification, many augmentation approaches utilize simple image manipulation algorithms. In this work, we build ensembles on the data level by adding images generated by combining fourteen augmentation approaches. Pretrained ResNet50 networks are finetuned on training sets that include images derived from each augmentation method.

• Abstract: A problem with Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) is that they require large datasets to obtain adequate robustness; on small datasets, they are prone to overfitting. Many methods have been proposed to overcome this shortcoming with CNNs. In cases where additional samples cannot easily be collected, a common approach is to generate more data points from existing data using an augmentation technique. In image classification, many augmentation approaches utilize simple image manipulation algorithms. In this work, we build ensembles on the data level by adding images generated by combining fourteen augmentation approaches, three of which are proposed here for the first time. These novel methods are based on the Fourier Transform (FT), the Radon Transform (RT) and the Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT). Pretrained ResNet50 networks are finetuned on training sets that include images derived from each augmentation method. These networks and several fusions are evaluated and compared across eleven benchmarks. Results show that building ensembles on the data level by combining different data augmentation methods produce classifiers that not only compete competitively against the state-of-the-art but often surpass the best approaches reported in the literature.

  We study the dependence of the GAN-based augmentation performance on dataset size with a focus on small samples. We train StyleGAN2-ADA with both sets and then, after validating the quality of generated images, we use trained GANs as one of the augmentations approaches in multi-class classification problems. The GAN-based augmentation approach is found to be comparable with classical augmentation in the case of medium and large datasets but underperforms in the case of smaller datasets.

  We propose to distill an entire dataset's knowledge into a few synthetic images. The idea is to synthesize a small number of synthetic data points that, when given to a learning algorithm as training data, result in a model approximating one trained on the original data. We present a new optimization algorithm that distills a large number of images into a few intermediate feature vectors in the generative model's latent space.

  We propose a novel learned feature-based refinement and augmentation method that produces a varied set of complex transformations. These transformations also use information from both within-class and across-class representations that we extract through clustering. We demonstrate that our method is comparable to current state of art for smaller datasets while being able to scale up to larger datasets.
