A computer-implemented method according to one embodiment includes receiving a training data set to be applied to a model; selecting a subset of the training data set as a sample set; for each of a plurality of predetermined augmentations, applying the predetermined augmentation to the sample set to create an augmented sample set, training the model with the augmented sample set, determining a performance of the trained model, and assigning a weight to the predetermined augmentation for the training data set, based on the determined performance; and selecting one or more of the plurality of predetermined augmentations to be applied to the training data set before the training data set is applied to the model, based on the weight assigned to each of the plurality of predetermined augmentations.
