Claim 16:
17. A machine learning-based method of classifying a plurality of images, the method comprising:
generating, via a machine learning model, respective embeddings for images in a full training data set used to pre-train the machine learning model;
applying a clustering algorithm to the respective embeddings to generate a plurality of clusters of the embeddings;
identifying outlier embeddings from the plurality of clusters of the embeddings;
generating a reduced training data set comprising the full training data set less the images associated with the outlier embeddings, the reduced training data set including the images associated with the embeddings in the plurality of clusters;
tuning the machine learning model with the reduced training data set; and
applying the tuned machine learning model to one or more unclassified images to classify the one or more unclassified images.
