MixupE: Understanding and improving Mixup from directional derivative perspective

UAI 2023poster

Mixup is a popular data augmentation technique for training deep neural networks where additional samples are generated by linearly interpolating pairs of inputs and their labels. This technique is known to improve the generalization performance in many learning paradigms and applications. In this w…

PatchUp: A Feature-Space Block-Level Regularization Technique for Convolutional Neural Networks

AAAI 2022technical

Large capacity deep learning models are often prone to a high generalization gap when trained with a limited amount of labeled training data. A recent class of methods to address this problem uses various ways to construct a new training sample by mixing a pair (or more) of training samples. We prop…

GraphMix: Improved Training of GNNs for Semi-Supervised Learning

AAAI 2021technical

We present GraphMix, a regularization method for Graph Neural Network based semi-supervised object classification, whereby we propose to train a fully-connected network jointly with the graph neural network via parameter sharing and interpolation-based regularization. Further, we provide a theoretic…

Interpolation-Based Semi-Supervised Learning for Object Detection

CVPR 2021poster

Despite the data labeling cost for the object detection tasks being substantially more than that of the classification tasks, semi-supervised learning methods for object detection have not been studied much. In this paper, we propose an Interpolation-based Semi-supervised learning method for object…

Manifold Mixup: Better Representations by Interpolating Hidden States

ICML 2019oral

Deep neural networks excel at learning the training data, but often provide incorrect and confident predictions when evaluated on slightly different test examples. This includes distribution shifts, outliers, and adversarial examples. To address these issues, we propose \manifoldmixup{}, a simple re…

On Adversarial Mixup Resynthesis

NeurIPS 2019poster

In this paper, we explore new approaches to combining information encoded within the learned representations of auto-encoders. We explore models that are capable of combining the attributes of multiple inputs such that a resynthesised output is trained to fool an adversarial discriminator for real v…

Residual Connections Encourage Iterative Inference

ICLR 2018poster

Residual networks (Resnets) have become a prominent architecture in deep learning. However, a comprehensive understanding of Resnets is still a topic of ongoing research. A recent view argues that Resnets perform iterative refinement of features. We attempt to further expose properties of this aspec…
