  • Publication number: 20230252765
    Abstract: In a data augmentation device, a data acquisition means acquires two sets of source domain data of a predetermined class from a data group of a source domain, and acquires one set of target domain data of the predetermined class from a data group of a target domain data. An estimation means estimates a structure of a manifold representing a data distribution of the source domain by using two sets of source domain data. A data generation means generates new data of the target domain by using the one set of target domain data and the structure of the manifold.
