CutMix

A visual regularization technique that mixes image regions and labels together to improve robustness.

CutMix replaces a region of one image with a patch from another image and adjusts the labels accordingly. This can reduce the tendency of a model to rely too heavily on a single small region. It often improves robustness and generalization in image classification tasks. It is one of the modern techniques that blurs the line between augmentation and regularization.
