Data Augmentation Techniques for NLP
If you'd like to add your paper, do not email us. Instead, read the protocol for adding a new entry and send a pull request.
We group the papers by text classification, translation, summarization, question-answering, sequence tagging, parsing, grammatical-error-correction, generation, dialogue, multimodal, mitigating bias, mitigating class imbalance, adversarial examples, compositionality, and automated augmentation.
This repository is based on our paper, "A survey of data augmentation approaches in NLP (Findings of ACL '21)". You can cite it as follows:
