Normalization augmented refers to a data preprocessing technique used in machine learning and statistical analysis. It combines the principles of data normalization with an augmentation process to enhance the quality and diversity of training datasets. Normalization itself aims to scale numerical features to a common range, typically between 0 and 1 or with a mean of 0 and a standard deviation of 1. This helps algorithms that are sensitive to the scale of input features, preventing those with larger values from dominating the learning process.

Augmentation, on the other hand, involves creating new, synthetic data points from existing ones. This is particularly useful for datasets that are small or imbalanced, as it increases the size and variability of the training data. Common augmentation techniques include adding noise, applying transformations (like rotation or scaling for images), or interpolating between existing samples.

Normalization augmented applies these two concepts sequentially or in conjunction. For instance, one might first normalize a dataset and then apply augmentation techniques to the normalized data. Alternatively, augmentation might be performed first, followed by normalization of the augmented dataset. The specific order and combination depend on the nature of the data and the requirements of the machine learning model. The goal is to create a more robust and generalized model by exposing it to a wider range of data variations, all while ensuring that the numerical features are on a comparable scale. This approach can lead to improved model performance, reduced overfitting, and better generalization to unseen data.
