===Data Augmentation===
===Data Augmentation===
[[Data augmentation]] is a practice that involves creating new information. It is a technique used to expand a training dataset by altering original data in various ways. It involves making various transformations to the original sample, such as [[cropping]], [[flipping]], [[rotating]], [[scaling]] and adding noise, in order to produce new training [[examples]] that look similar but slightly different from their originals.

===Dropout===
Dropout randomly set some [[neuron]]s' output to zero during the training process - in other words, dropout randomly turns off some neurons in a [[neural network]] during each [[iteration]] of training.
Every training iteration, a random subset of neurons is chosen to be dropped out with a probability defined by a [[hyperparameter]] called the [[dropout rate]]. This encourages remaining neurons to learn robust and independent [[features]] without being dependent on other neurons' presence; in turn, this prevents the model from being overly specific and more susceptible to overfitting.
