Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

This paper presents an interpretable automatic data augmentation method. While the mechanism of the existing automatic augmentation methods is not easily understandable, the proposed method seeks to make the process of finding an augmentation policy more clear while maintaining simplicity. The proposed method has been tested on the Fashion-MNIST with a simple convnet and on the CIFAR10 dataset with ResNet50 network. Moreover, it was compared with the RandAugment, Augmix and TrivialAugment methods using benchmark datasets Fashion MNIST-C and CIFAR-10C. The developed method ex-hibits comparable results to that of existing approaches with the key advantage of interpretability.
