1. CutMix is a simple data augmentation technique that improves image classification performance by mixing patches of images and their labels during training. 2. It works by replacing image patches from training examples with patches from other random images, and mixing the ground truth labels proportionally. 3. Experiments show that CutMix helps models focus on less discriminative features, improves classification accuracy, enhances object localization ability, and increases robustness to adversarial examples and out-of-distribution inputs.
