How does Data Augmentation work

Beginner

Answer

The original data is transformed in ways that preserve its meaning, such as rotating an image slightly or replacing a word with a synonym, to increase the variety seen during training.
Real-world example A team training an image model uses data augmentation to flip and rotate photos, effectively increasing the size of their training dataset.
