EvoAug: improving generalization and interpretability of genomic deep neural networks with evolution-inspired data augmentations

Abstract Deep neural networks (DNNs) hold promise for functional genomics prediction, but their generalization capability may be limited by the amount of available data. To address this, we propose EvoAug, a suite of evolution-inspired augmentations that enhance the training of genomic DNNs by incre...
