In particular, the present disclosure provides a number of novel augmentation operations which can be performed directly upon the audiographic image (e.g., as opposed to the raw audio data) to generate augmented training data that results in improved model performance. As an example, the audiographic images can be or include one or more spectrograms or filter bank sequences.
