Machine learning‐based behaviour classification using acceleration data is a powerful tool in bio‐logging research. Deep learning architectures such as convolutional neural networks (CNN), long short‐term memory (LSTM) and self‐attention mechanisms as well as related training techniques have been extensively studied in human activity recognition. However, they have rarely been used in wild animal studies. The main challenges of acceleration‐based wild animal behaviour classification include data shortages, class imbalance problems, various types of noise in data due to differences in individual behaviour and where the loggers were attached and complexity in data due to complex animal‐specific behaviours, which may have limited the application of deep learning techniques in this area. To overcome these challenges, we explored the effectiveness of techniques for efficient model training: data augmentation, manifold mixup and pre‐training of deep learning models with unlabelled data, using datasets from two species of wild seabirds and state‐of‐the‐art deep learning model architectures. Data augmentation improved the overall model performance when one of the various techniques (none, scaling, jittering, permutation, time‐warping and rotation) was randomly applied to each data during mini‐batch training. Manifold mixup also improved model performance, but not as much as random data augmentation. Pre‐training with unlabelled data did not improve model performance. The state‐of‐the‐art deep learning models, including a model consisting of four CNN layers, an LSTM layer and a multi‐head attention layer, as well as its modified version with shortcut connection, showed better performance among other comparative models. Using only raw acceleration data as inputs, these models outperformed classic machine learning approaches that used 119 handcrafted features. Our experiments showed that deep learning techniques are promising for acceleration‐based behaviour classification of wild animals and highlighted some challenges (e.g. effective use of unlabelled data). There is scope for greater exploration of deep learning techniques in wild animal studies (e.g. advanced data augmentation, multimodal sensor data use, transfer learning and self‐supervised learning). We hope that this study will stimulate the development of deep learning techniques for wild animal behaviour classification using time‐series sensor data.

The goal of this work is to generate large statistically representative datasets to train machine learning models for disruption prediction provided by data from few existing discharges. Such a comprehensive training database is important to achieve satisfying and reliable prediction results in artificial neural network classifiers. Here, we aim for a robust augmentation of the training database for multivariate time series data using Student-t process regression. We apply Student-t process regression in a state space formulation via Bayesian filtering to tackle challenges imposed by outliers and noise in the training data set and to reduce the computational complexity. Thus, the method can also be used if the time resolution is high. We use an uncorrelated model for each dimension and impose correlations afterwards via coloring transformations. We demonstrate the efficacy of our approach on plasma diagnostics data of three different disruption classes from the DIII-D tokamak. To evaluate if the distribution of the generated data is similar to the training data, we additionally perform statistical analyses using methods from time series analysis, descriptive statistics, and classic machine learning clustering algorithms.

The popularity of Deep Learning (DL) methods used in business process management research and practice is constantly increasing. One important factor that hinders the adoption of DL in certain areas is the availability of sufficiently large training datasets, particularly affecting domains where process models are mainly defined manually with a high knowledge-acquisition effort. In this paper, we examine process model augmentation in combination with semi-supervised transfer learning to enlarge existing datasets and train DL models effectively. The use case of similarity learning between manufacturing process models is discussed. Based on a literature study of existing augmentation techniques, a concept is presented with different categories of augmentation from knowledge-light approaches to knowledge-intensive ones, e. g. based on automated planning. Specifically, the impacts of augmentation approaches on the syntactic and semantic correctness of the augmented process models are considered. The concept also proposes a semi-supervised transfer learning approach to integrate augmented and non-augmented process model datasets in a two-phased training procedure. The experimental evaluation investigates augmented process model datasets regarding their quality for model training in the context of similarity learning between manufacturing process models. The results indicate a large potential with a reduction of the prediction error of up to 53%.

Result of 10-Fold cross-validation on augmented dataset.

Overview

The 400k Augmented MNIST dataset is an extended version of the classic MNIST handwritten digits dataset. By applying a variety of augmentation techniques, I have increased the number of training images to 400,000 - roughly 40,000 per digit label. This large and diverse training set is designed to significantly improve the robustness and generalization of models trained on it, making them less susceptible to overfitting and more resilient against adversarial perturbations.

Dataset Structure

The dataset is organized into two main directories:

• Augmented MNIST Training Set (400k):
  This directory contains 10 subdirectories, one for each digit label ("Label 0" through "Label 9"). Each subdirectory holds the corresponding JPEG images generated via augmentation. These images have been produced using techniques such as random rotation, shear, translation, scaling, reflection, spatial padding, Ben Graham transformation, Gaussian noise, salt-and-pepper noise, and random text overlay.
• MNIST Validation Set (4k):
  This directory also contains subdirectories "Label 0" to "Label 9". However, the validation set consists solely of the original MNIST images (approximately 400 per label) that were not used for augmentation. This allows you to evaluate model performance on natural, unaltered digit images, providing a clear benchmark for generalization.

How to Use This Dataset

1. Training:
   Use the augmented training set to train your deep learning models. The 400k images offer a wide variety of conditions, helping your model learn robust features that generalize well.
2. Validation:
   Evaluate your models on the validation set, which contains only the original MNIST images. This will help you measure performance on “natural” digits, ensuring that improvements in robustness do not come at the expense of real-world accuracy.
3. Flexibility:
   You can also experiment with mixed training (combining augmented and original images) to study how different training strategies affect model robustness and accuracy.

Augmentation Techniques Applied

The following augmentation functions were used to generate the extended dataset:

• Random Rotation: Randomly rotates images within a specified angle range.
• Random Shear: Applies slight shearing transformations.
• Random Translation: Shifts images horizontally and vertically.
• Random Scale: Zooms in or out on the images.
• Ben Graham Transform: Enhances image contrast and clarity using a weighted Gaussian blur.
• Random Gaussian Noise: Adds Gaussian noise to simulate sensor or environmental disturbances.
• Random Salt-and-Pepper Noise: Introduces random pixel-level corruption.

A random number of transformations (between 1 and 6, in a random order) is applied to each image, with the goal of creating a diverse and challenging training set.

While domain-specific data augmentation can be useful in training neural networks for medical imaging tasks, such techniques have not been widely used to date. Our objective was to test whether domain-specific data augmentation is useful for medical imaging using a well-benchmarked task: view classification on fetal ultrasound FETAL-125 and OB-125 datasets. We found that using a context-preserving cut-paste strategy, we could create valid training data as measured by performance of the resulting trained model on the benchmark test dataset. When used in an online fashion, models trained on this hybrid data performed similarly to those trained using traditional data augmentation (FETAL-125 F-score 85.33 ± 0.24 vs 86.89 ± 0.60, p-value 0.014; OB-125 F-score 74.60 ± 0.11 vs 72.43 ± 0.62, p-value 0.004). Furthermore, the ability to perform augmentations during training time, as well as the ability to apply chosen augmentations equally across data classes, are important considerations in designing a bespoke data augmentation. Finally, we provide open-source code to facilitate running bespoke data augmentations in an online fashion. Taken together, this work expands the ability to design and apply domain-guided data augmentations for medical imaging tasks.
