New NLP data augmentation method preserves discourse structure

Researchers have developed a novel data augmentation framework for Natural Language Processing (NLP) that preserves document-level discourse structure. This method utilizes large language models and discourse parsing to identify rhetorical relations between sentences, enabling the replacement of key phrases with semantically coherent yet topically shifted content. Experiments on text summarization and question answering tasks indicate that the augmented data provides valuable complementary supervision, improving training performance when combined with existing data.

    Structure-Preserving Document-Level Data Augmentation via Discourse Parsing

    arXiv:2610.19497v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Data augmentation (DA) plays a vital role in improving model performance in low-resource or limited-supervision scenarios within Natural Language Processing (NLP). Existing DA methods, such as synonym replacement and back-translatio…
