Abstract(in English) Deep convolutional neural networks (CNNs) have demonstrated remarkable results thanks to their numerous parameters. However, such numerous parameters against the variety of training samples often have a risk of overfitting. To solve this problem, data augmentation methods have been proposed so far. Data augmentation increases the variety of data by flipping, cropping, resizing and re-colorizing, and it leads deep CNNs to achieve higher performance by preventing overfitting. In this study, we propose a new data augmentation technique called random image cropping and patching (RICAP), which randomly crops four images and patches them to create a new training image. We evaluate RICAP with current state-of-the-art CNNs (e.g., shake-shake regularization model) by comparison with competitive data augmentation techniques such as cutout and mixup; RICAP achieves a new state-of-the-art test error of 2.23% on CIFAR-10. We also confirm that deep CNNs with RICAP achieve better results on CIFAR-100 and ImageNet than those with other techniques.
