NLarge 0.2.3

Data augmentation for NLP

SC4001 NLarge

Purpose of Project

NLarge is a project focused on exploring and implementing various data augmentation techniques for Natural Language Processing (NLP) tasks. The primary goal is to enhance the diversity and robustness of training datasets, thereby improving the performance and generalization capabilities of NLP models. This project includes traditional data augmentation methods such as synonym replacement and random substitution, as well as advanced techniques using Large Language Models (LLMs).

Initializing Virtual Environment

Afterwards, you can install the needed packages from Python with the help of Poetry using the command below:

poetry install

Repository Contents

• report.tex: The LaTeX document containing the detailed report of the project, including methodology, experiments, results, and analysis.
• example/: Contains example scripts for data augmentation and model training.
• NLarge/: The main package containing the data augmentation and model implementation.

Usage

To run the models and experiments, you can use the python notebooks in the example/ directory. The notebooks contain detailed explanations and code snippets for data augmentation and model training.
