    Abstract: A method and system for sampling and augmenting a dataset associated with a first class and a second class, respectively, to balance the dataset of images is described. The method includes receiving a required number of reduced set of dataset images associated with the first class, creating a plurality of clusters from a set of images associated with the first class, and selecting a representative image from each cluster to provide a reduced set of images. Further, a median image and a non-defect artifact mask is generated corresponding to the set of images associated with the first class. Additionally, a defect foreground is extracted based on the median image and each defect image of another set of images associated with the second class. Finally, the at least one non-defect artifact is removed from the defect foreground to provide a new synthetic defect image for each defect image for augmentation.

  • Publication number: 20230111765
    Abstract: The present subject matter describes a method for labeling data in a computing system based on artificial intelligent techniques. The method comprises receiving input data and ordering the received input-data in a plurality of classes inferred based on at-least one of clustering and anomaly detection. The method further comprises receiving one more manual annotated labels for the ordered data. A first machine-learning (ML) model is trained with respect to the ordered data and thereby generating new labels. The performance of the first ML model is computed based on a comparison between the manual labels and the new labels. The labels are automatically propagated to unlabelled-portion of the ordered data based on execution of the first ML model based on accuracy of first ML model being above a predefined threshold.
