Meta-augmentation
Introduced by Janarthanan Rajendran et al. in Meta-Learning Requires Meta-Augmentation
archive 2025-07-28 Description, source and code snippet are the archive's method entry.
Meta-augmentation helps generate more varied tasks for a single example in meta-learning. It can be distinguished from data augmentation in classic machine learning as follows. For data augmentation in classical machine learning, the aim is to generate more varied examples, within a single task. Meta-augmentation has the exact opposite aim: we wish to generate more varied tasks, for a single example, to force the learner to quickly learn a new task from feedback. In meta-augmentation, adding randomness discourages the base learner and model from learning trivial solutions that do not generalize to new tasks.

Usage over time archive 2025-07-28
Components: the archive holds no method-to-method composition, so PwC's Components table cannot be rebuilt; the Papers list carries no Results column for the same reason (the archive does not join its leaderboard rows to method tags).
