Mixup: Simple Blend Boosts Accuracy and Robustness
Most CV novices skip this. Most experts use it on every classifier. Mixup: blend two training images + blend their labels with the same λ. Result: less overfitting, smoother boundaries, adversarial robustness. Part 1 explains how it works ↓ Part 2 (PyTorch how-to) coming soon — follow for the drop. 🎥
Turn Model Failures Into Fine‑Tuning Data
Part 2 🧊 In Part 1: accuracy is a trap. In Part 2: failure modes ARE your fine-tuning dataset. Probe the public model → collect data on exactly what it breaks on → fine-tune → repeat. That's the loop most CV teams skip. Dr. Satya...
Beyond Accuracy: Audit Failure Modes Before Deploying CV
