Can I use this for custom data augmentation?

Absolutely. The skill includes examples for complex transformations, including normalization, random flips, and vectorized operations using tf.vectorized_map.

Does it support datasets larger than available system RAM?

Yes, it provides patterns for disk-based caching and streaming data from TFRecord and CSV files to handle massive datasets efficiently.

Is it compatible with distributed training strategies?

Yes, the skill covers how to distribute datasets across multiple devices using TensorFlow's MirroredStrategy and experimental_distribute_dataset.

How does this skill improve training performance?

It implements tf.data best practices like prefetching and parallel transformations (using AUTOTUNE) to ensure the GPU/TPU is never waiting for the next batch of data.
