It is done by artificially producing new data by applying transformations on an original dataset such as rotation, cropping, occlusion, etc. To address this problem, Google published AutoAugment last year, which discovers optimized augmentations for the given dataset using reinforcement learning. deepaugmentslides Colab tutorial: bit.ly/deepaugmentusage
