Challenge: Existing methods for multi-label data augmentation have been ineffective, authors say . a mere 1.5% of labels have more than 100 training instances, a problem that persists for years .
Approach: They propose a new paradigm for multi-label data augmentation called Label Creative Generation . they propose tail-driven conditional augmentation with tail-based sampling and label-conditioned generation .
Outcome: The proposed approach has shown a 10% increase in PSP@1 across three datasets . it effectively mitigates the long-tail effect and enhances model performance .
