Image data augmentation (ricap and cutmix)
I’ve adapted 2 new data augmentation techniques to be used with fastai (ricap and cutmix). Both of them have shown performance improvements resulting in SOTA in multiple datasets. Please, feel free to use them as you wish. You’ll be able to find here a notebook explaining how they can be used.
Some brief initial tests that I’ve run look promising.
If you are interested in this type of data augmentation, there’s some more info in this thread.
