FAQs

Data augmentation is the process of creating new data by applying transformations to existing data. It helps improve model generalization and performance, especially when dealing with limited data, by artificially expanding the dataset.

Yes, data augmentation can be applied to various types of data, including images, text, time-series, and audio. Different techniques are used depending on the type of data to improve model accuracy and robustness.

Some popular libraries and tools for data augmentation include TensorFlow, Keras, OpenCV, nlpaug, audiomentations, and ImgAug. These tools offer easy-to-use functions for implementing various augmentation techniques.

Augmentation involves creating new, modified versions of existing data. For example, in image processing, augmentation might include rotating an image, changing its brightness, or flipping it horizontally, all to create more diverse training data.

The goal of data augmentation is to increase the size and diversity of the dataset, thereby improving the model’s ability to generalize and perform well on unseen data. This leads to more robust and accurate AI models.

Generative AI refers to the use of models like GANs (Generative Adversarial Networks) to generate entirely new data samples that mimic the characteristics of real-world data. This technique is particularly useful when real-world data is scarce or expensive to obtain.
