What is data augmentation?

Machine learning models can perform wonderful things—if they have enough training data. Unfortunately, for many applications, access to quality data remains a barrier. 

One solution to this problem is “data augmentation,” a technique that generates new training examples from existing ones. Data augmentation is a low-cost and effective method to improve the performance and accuracy of machine learning models in data-constrained environments.
