Data augmentation with Mixup has been proven an effective method to regularize the current deep neural networks. Mixup generates virtual samples and corresponding labels at once through linear interpolation. However, this one-stage generation paradigm and the use of linear interpolation have the following two defects:
(1) The label of the generated sample is directly combined from the labels of the original sample pairs without reasonable judgment, which makes the labels likely to be ambiguous.
(2) linear combination significantly limits the sampling space for generating samples.
To tackle these problems, we propose a novel and effective augmentation method based on global clustering relationships named Global Mixup. Specifically, we transform the previous one-stage augmentation process into two-stage, decoupling the process of generating virtual samples from the labeling. And for the labels of the generated samples, relabeling is performed based on clustering by calculating the global relationships of the generated samples.
In addition, we are no longer limited to linear relationships but generate more reliable virtual samples in a larger sampling space.Extensive experiments for CNN, LSTM, and BERT on five tasks show that Global Mixup significantly outperforms previous state-of-the-art baselines. Further experiments also demonstrate the advantage of Global Mixup in low-resource scenarios.

The purpose of the AAAI conference series is to promote research in Artificial Intelligence (AI) and foster scientific exchange between researchers, practitioners, scientists, students, and engineers across the entirety of AI and its affiliated disciplines. AAAI-23 is the Thirty-Seventh AAAI Conference on Artificial Intelligence. The theme of this conference is to create collaborative bridges within and beyond AI. Like previous AAAI conferences, AAAI-23 will feature technical paper presentations, special tracks, invited speakers, workshops, tutorials, poster sessions, senior member presentations, competitions, and exhibit programs, and two new activities: a Bridge Program and a Lab Program. Many of these activities are tailored to the theme of bridges and all are selected according to the highest standards, with additional programs for students and young researchers. 
AAAI is providing you with a conference planner, which you can use to help organize your itinerary of activities. This includes talks to attend in person, talks to attend remotely, breaks with colleagues and your site seeing activities.
