    Abstract: Example aspects of the present disclosure are directed to systems and methods for learning data augmentation strategies for improved object detection model performance. In particular, example aspects of the present disclosure are directed to iterative reinforcement learning approaches in which, at each of a plurality of iterations, a controller model selects a series of one or more augmentation operations to be applied to training images to generate augmented images. For example, the controller model can select the augmentation operations from a defined search space of available operations which can, for example, include operations that augment the training image without modification of the locations of a target object and corresponding bounding shape within the image and/or operations that do modify the locations of the target object and bounding shape within the training image.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for determining neural network architectures. One of the methods includes generating, using a controller neural network having controller parameters and in accordance with current values of the controller parameters, a batch of output sequences. The method includes, for each output sequence in the batch: generating an instance of a child convolutional neural network (CNN) that includes multiple instances of a first convolutional cell having an architecture defined by the output sequence; training the instance of the child CNN to perform an image processing task; and evaluating a performance of the trained instance of the child CNN on the task to determine a performance metric for the trained instance of the child CNN; and using the performance metrics for the trained instances of the child CNN to adjust current values of the controller parameters of the controller neural network.
