• Title: Data augmentation with mixtures of max-entropy transformations for filling-level classification
• Authors: Apostolos Modas and Andrea Cavallaro and Pascal Frossard
• Abstract summary: We address the problem of distribution shifts in test-time data with a principled data augmentation scheme for the task of content-level classification. We show that such a principled augmentation scheme, alone, can replace current approaches that use transfer learning or can be used in combination with transfer learning to improve its performance.

• Abstract: We address the problem of distribution shifts in test-time data with a principled data augmentation scheme for the task of content-level classification. In such a task, properties such as shape or transparency of test-time containers (cup or drinking glass) may differ from those represented in the training data. Dealing with such distribution shifts using standard augmentation schemes is challenging and transforming the training images to cover the properties of the test-time instances requires sophisticated image manipulations. We therefore generate diverse augmentations using a family of max-entropy transformations that create samples with new shapes, colors and spectral characteristics. We show that such a principled augmentation scheme, alone, can replace current approaches that use transfer learning or can be used in combination with transfer learning to improve its performance.

  We propose a new family of local transformations based on Gaussian random fields to generate image augmentations for self-supervised representation learning. We achieve a 1.7% top-1 accuracy improvement over baseline on ImageNet downstream classification, and a 3.6% improvement on out-of-distribution iNaturalist downstream classification. While mild transformations improve representations, we observe that strong transformations can degrade the structure of an image.

  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 introduce the Topographic VAE: a novel method for efficiently training deep generative models with topographically organized latent variables. We show that such a model indeed learns to organize its activations according to salient characteristics such as digit class, width, and style on MNIST. We demonstrate approximate equivariance to complex transformations, expanding upon the capabilities of existing group equivariant neural networks.

  We present NaTra, an adversarial training scheme to improve robustness of image classification algorithms. We target attributes of the input images that are independent of the class identification, and manipulate those attributes to mimic real-world natural transformations. We demonstrate the efficacy of our scheme by utilizing the disentangled latent representations derived from well-trained GANs.

  We investigate the problem of classifying - from a single image - the level of content in a cup or a drinking glass. We use adversarial training in a generic source dataset and then refine the training with a task-specific dataset. We show that transfer learning with adversarial training in the source domain consistently improves the classification accuracy on the test set.

  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.

  We propose a probabilistic extension that estimates a transformation rather than a deterministic one. We show that these two properties lead to improved classification performance, robustness and model calibration. We further demonstrate that the approach generalizes to non-visual domains by improving model performance on time-series data.
