Abstract
A process for evolving a data augmentation policy for application to sample data from a dataset for us in training a neural network to perform a predetermined task is described. An initial population of candidate data augmentation policy models, each model including multiple nodes which are distinct data augmentation operations and multiple edges which have weight values representing a probability related to action by a second node on input data from a first node. The models in the population are evaluated by applying to the sample data and at least partially training the neural network using the augmented sample dataset. A fitness is determined based on the results of the training and models are selected either as final policy models or for reproduction and repeating of the evolution process until a final model is selected.
