OA-CutMix: Correcting the Label Bias of CutMix
Researchers propose Object-Aware CutMix (OA-CutMix), a corrected version of the widely-used CutMix data augmentation technique that fixes a fundamental labeling bias where patch area doesn't accurately reflect semantic contribution. The method uses segmentation masks to assign labels proportional to visible object area, consistently outperforming existing mixing methods across multiple architectures and datasets.
