Generative Data Augmentation Framework

Context:
- It can generate entirely new data points, not just modifications to the existing training data.
- It can (typically) aim to increase the size and diversity of the training data to improve model performance, especially in scenarios with limited data.
- It can (typically) include components such as Data Generation Models, Data Corruption Strategies, Model Training Schemes.
- …
Example(s):
- DALE Framework, as proposed in (Ghosh et al., 2023), for low-resource legal NLP tasks.
- as proposed in (F Naaz et al., 2021), for battery condition evaluation.
- as proposed in (M Sajjad et al., 2021) for Alzheimer's disease classification using PET and synthetic data augmentation used in a

- A generative data augmentation framework is a system that automatically generates synthetic data to augment the training data for machine learning models. The key aspects are:
  - [[Generative: The synthetic data is generated by the system rather than just making modifications to the existing training data. This allows creating entirely new data points.
  - [[Data Augmentation: The goal is to increase the size and diversity of the training data to improve model performance, especially in low-resource scenarios with limited data.
  - [[Framework: It consists of components like generation models, corruption strategies, training schemes etc. that work together to enable controlled generation of augmented data.

- NOTES:
  - It presents DALE, a novel generative data augmentation framework for low-resource legal NLP tasks.
  - It proposes a novel unsupervised text denoising objective for DALE based on selective masking of co-located spans in legal documents. This helps acquire knowledge about legal concepts, principles, and language usage.
- QUOTE: ... We present DALE, a novel and effective generative Data Augmentation framework for low-resource LEgal NLP. DALE addresses the challenges existing frameworks pose in generating effective data augmentations of legal documents - legal language, with its specialized vocabulary and complex semantics, morphology, and syntax, does not benefit from data augmentations that merely rephrase the source sentence. ...
