Understand

This paper presents a supervised mixing augmentation method termed SuperMix, which exploits the salient regions within input images to construct mixed training samples.

  • SuperMix is designed to obtain mixed images rich in visual features and complying with realistic image priors.
  • To enhance the efficiency of the algorithm, we develop a variant of the Newton iterative method, $65\times$ faster than gradient descent on this problem.
  • We validate the effectiveness of SuperMix through extensive evaluations and ablation studies on two tasks of object classification and knowledge distillation.
