You Only Need Half: Boosting Data Augmentation by Using Partial Content

arXiv:2405.02830v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: We propose a novel data augmentation method termed You Only Need hAlf (YONA), which simplifies the augmentation process. YONA bisects an image, substitutes one half with noise, and applies data augmentation techniques to the remaining half. This method reduces the redundant information in the original image, encourages neural networks to recognize objects from incomplete views, and significantly enhances neural networks' robustness. YONA is distinguished by its properties of parameter-free, straightforward application, enhancing various existing data …
