augmentation

In Western music and music theory, augmentation (from Late Latin augmentare, to increase) is the lengthening of a note or the widening of an interval.

What is an augmented chord? An augmented chord is a triad with a sharpened fifth – that is, a fifth note, raised one semitone. So an augmented C would play C – E – G#. This sharpening of the major C triad transforms the character from a happy, clean major chord.

Diminution and augmentation Diminution is when a musical idea is repeated with the note values halved - so the notes are shorter. Augmentation is when a musical idea is repeated but with the note values doubled, which doubles the length of the idea.

Composers have varied the subject by doubling the rhythmic value of each note, a technique known as augmentation. Conversely, they may cut the values in half, or into smaller fractions, resulting in the diminution of the subject.

Augmentation is the noun for any process or amount that makes something bigger or greater. It often refers to a budget, curriculum, or some kinds of plastic surgery. The augmentation of the defense budget would increase the budget. The amount of the increase could also be called an augmentation.

enlarge Some common synonyms of augment are enlarge, increase, and multiply. While all these words mean "to make or become greater," augment implies addition to what is already well grown or well developed. the inheritance augmented his fortune.

​AUGMENTATION. This term is used to express the appearance of the subject of a fugue in notes of double the original value, e.g. crotchets for quavers, minims for crotchets, etc., and is thus the opposite to Diminution.

Each note in an augmented triad is two whole steps above the prior note. The first note is the root note, the second note is the major third, and the third note is an augmented fifth. For example, compare the chords C major and C augmented major, which is written as C+ in most music notation.

To augment is to enlarge something or to add to it. Augmentation is the noun for any process or amount that makes something bigger or greater. It often refers to a budget, curriculum, or some kinds of plastic surgery. The augmentation of the defense budget would increase the budget.

Data augmentation is the process of modifying, or “augmenting” a dataset with additional data. This additional data can be anything from images to text, and its use in machine learning algorithms helps improve their performance.

What does data augmentation mean? It is a set of techniques to artificially increase the dataset by modifying the copies of existing data or synthetically generating new copies of the dataset by using the existing dataset. While training the machine learning model, it acts as regularization and reduces overfitting.
