Data Augmentation with Python

By: Duc Haba

Overview of this book

Data is paramount in AI projects, especially for deep learning and generative AI, as forecasting accuracy relies on input datasets being robust. Acquiring additional data through traditional methods can be challenging, expensive, and impractical, and data augmentation offers an economical option to extend the dataset. The book teaches you over 20 geometric, photometric, and random erasing augmentation methods using seven real-world datasets for image classification and segmentation. You’ll also review eight image augmentation open source libraries, write object-oriented programming (OOP) wrapper functions in Python Notebooks, view color image augmentation effects, analyze safe levels and biases, as well as explore fun facts and take on fun challenges. As you advance, you’ll discover over 20 character and word techniques for text augmentation using two real-world datasets and excerpts from four classic books. The chapter on advanced text augmentation uses machine learning to extend the text dataset, such as Transformer, Word2vec, BERT, GPT-2, and others. While chapters on audio and tabular data have real-world data, open source libraries, amazing custom plots, and Python Notebook, along with fun facts and challenges. By the end of this book, you will be proficient in image, text, audio, and tabular data augmentation techniques.

Various Spectrogram formats

There are many parameters Pluto can pass to the underlying specgram() method from the Matplotlib library. He will highlight only a few parameters.

Fun fact

You can print any function documentation by adding a question mark (?) at the end of the function in the Python Notebook.

For example, printing the documentation for the specgram() function is the following command: matplotlib.pyplot.specgram? The partial output is as follows:

Figure 8.5 – Partial print definition of specgram()

Figure 8.5 – Partial print definition of specgram()

You can view the complete output of Figure 8.5 in the Python Notebook. Another example is printing Pluto’s draw_spectrogram() function documentation as follows: pluto.draw_spectrogram?.

The output is as follows:

Figure 8.6 – The print definition of draw_spectrogram()

Figure 8.6 – The print definition of draw_spectrogram()

From Figure 8.5, the simple one is changing the color map (cmap) variable. There are more than 60 color maps in the Matplotlib...
