Original Abstract Submitted

A method of balancing a dataset for a machine learning model includes identifying confusing classes of few-shot classes for a machine learning model during validation. One of the confusing classes and an image from one of the few-shot classes are selected. An image perturbation is computed such that the selected image is classified as the selected confusing class. The selected image is modified with the computed perturbation. The modified selected image is added to a batch for training the machine learning model.
