• Abstract summary: The scarcity of large parallel corpora remains the main bottleneck in Neural Machine Translation. Data augmentation is a technique that enhances the performance of data-hungry models by generating synthetic data instead of collecting new ones. We explore prompt-based data augmentation approaches that leverage large-scale language models such as ChatGPT.

• Abstract: Despite the rapid growth in model architecture, the scarcity of large parallel corpora remains the main bottleneck in Neural Machine Translation. Data augmentation is a technique that enhances the performance of data-hungry models by generating synthetic data instead of collecting new ones. We explore prompt-based data augmentation approaches that leverage large-scale language models such as ChatGPT. To create a synthetic parallel corpus, we compare 3 methods using different prompts. We employ two assessment metrics to measure the diversity of the generated synthetic data. This approach requires no further model training cost, which is mandatory in other augmentation methods like back-translation. The proposed method improves the unaugmented baseline by 0.68 BLEU score.

  We propose Base-Refine, a synthetic data generation method that combines the diversity of base models with the quality of instruct-tuned models. We show that fine-tuning with BARE-generated data achieves a 101% improvement over instruct-only data on GSM8K and a 18.4% improvement over SOTA methods on RAFT.

  We propose DreamMask, which explores how to generate training data in the open-vocabulary setting, and how to train the model with both real and synthetic data. In general, DreamMask significantly simplifies the collection of large-scale training data, serving as a plug-and-play enhancement for existing methods. For instance, when trained on COCO and tested on ADE20K, the model equipped with DreamMask outperforms the previous state-of-the-art by a substantial margin of 2.1% mIoU.

• GASE: Generatively Augmented Sentence Encoding [0.0]
  We propose an approach to enhance sentence embeddings by applying generative text models for data augmentation at inference time. Generatively Augmented Sentence uses diverse synthetic variants of input texts generated by paraphrasing, summarising or extracting keywords. We find that generative augmentation leads to larger performance improvements for embedding models with lower baseline performance.

  Methods for joint and unified synthesis of speech audio and co-speech 3D gesture motion from text are a new and emerging field. Existing methods are trained on parallel data from all constituent modalities. Inspired by student-teacher methods, we propose a straightforward solution to the data shortage, by simply synthesising additional training material.

  Our goal is to understand the factors that contribute to the effectiveness of pre-training models when using synthetic resources. We propose several novel approaches to pre-training translation models that involve different levels of lexical and structural knowledge. Our experiments on multiple language pairs reveal that pre-training benefits can be realized even with high levels of obfuscation or purely synthetic parallel data.

While encoding and decoding the input sentence, our model captures the syntactic and semantic representation of the input language with its class condition. Our model increases the performance of current models compared to other data augmentation techniques with a small amount of computation power.
