Explanations

Bibliographic source

Zhang, H., Cisse, M., Dauphin, Y. N. & Lopez-Paz, D. (2018). mixup: Beyond Empirical Risk Minimization. ICLR 2018.

Mathematical principle

Forms convex combinations of sample pairs, \(\tilde{\mathbf{x}} = \lambda\mathbf{x}_i + (1-\lambda)\mathbf{x}_j\) and \(\tilde{y} = \lambda y_i + (1-\lambda) y_j\) with \(\lambda \sim \mathrm{Beta}(\alpha,\alpha)\), encouraging linear behaviour between training examples and regularising the calibration model.

Implementation

C ABI n4m_aug_mixup_* in libn4m (create / apply / destroy lifecycle), wrapped by n4m.sklearn.MixupAugmenter. The same numerical kernel backs every language binding.

Usage

from n4m.sklearn import MixupAugmenter
op = MixupAugmenter()
X_transformed = op.fit_transform(X)
