Multilingual Augmenter: The Model Chooses
share
Natural Language Processing (NLP) relies heavily on training data. Transformers, as they have gotten bigger, have required massive amounts of training data. To satisfy this requirement, text augmentation should be looked at as a way to expand your current dataset and to generalize your models. One text augmentation we will look at is translation augmentation. We take an English sentence and translate it to another language before translating it back to English. In this paper, we look at the effect of 108 different language back translations on various metrics and text embeddings.
