Data augmentation, a technique in which a training set is expanded with class-preserving transformations, is ubiquitous in modern machine learning pipelines. In this paper, we seek to establish a theoretical framework for understanding modern data augmentation techniques. We start by showing that for kernel classifiers, data augmentation can be approximated by first-order feature averaging and ...

The problem in which the object is to add a minimum weight set of edges to a graph so as to satisfy a given condition is called the augmentation problem. This problem has a wide variety [3-5, 10, 11, 14-201. If such a given condition is concerned with the vertexor edge-connectivity of a graph then the problem is referred to as the (vertexor edge-) connectivity augmentation problem. Frank and Ch...
