Exploring Empty Spaces: Human-in-the-Loop Data Augmentation

Data augmentation is crucial to make machine learning models more robust and safe. However, augmenting data can be challenging as it requires generating diverse data points to rigorously evaluate model behavior on edge cases and mitigate potential harms. Creating high-quality augmentations that cover these “unknown unknowns” is a time- and creativity-intensive task. In this work, we introduce Amplio, an interactive tool to help practitioners navigate “unknown unknowns” in unstructured text datasets and improve data diversity by systematically identifying empty data spaces to explore. Amplio…

RangeAugment: Efficient Online Augmentation with Range Learning

State-of-the-art automatic augmentation methods (e.g., AutoAugment and RandAugment) for visual recognition tasks diversify training data using a large set of augmentation operations. The range of magnitudes of many augmentation operations (e.g., brightness and contrast) is continuous. Therefore, to make search computationally tractable, these methods use fixed and manually-defined magnitude ranges…

SeMAnD: Self-Supervised Anomaly Detection in Multimodal Geospatial Datasets

*= Equal Contributors We propose a Self-supervised Anomaly Detection technique, called SeMAnD, to detect geometric anomalies in Multimodal geospatial datasets. Geospatial data comprises acquired and derived heterogeneous data modalities that we transform to semantically meaningful, image-like tensors to address the challenges of representation, alignment, and fusion of multimodal data. SeMAnD…
