数据增强是通过转换为机器学习的人工创建数据的人工创建,是一个跨机器学习学科的研究领域。尽管它对于增加模型的概括功能很有用,但它还可以解决许多其他挑战和问题,从克服有限的培训数据到正规化目标到限制用于保护隐私的数据的数量。基于对数据扩展的目标和应用的精确描述以及现有作品的分类法,该调查涉及用于文本分类的数据增强方法,并旨在为研究人员和从业者提供简洁而全面的概述。我们将100多种方法划分为12种不同的分组,并提供最先进的参考文献来阐述哪种方法可以通过将它们相互关联,从而阐述了哪种方法。最后,提供可能构成未来工作的基础的研究观点。

数据饥饿的深度神经网络已经将自己作为许多NLP任务的标准建立为包括传统序列标记的标准。尽管他们在高资源语言上表现最先进的表现,但它们仍然落后于低资源场景的统计计数器。一个方法来反击攻击此问题是文本增强,即,从现有数据生成新的合成训练数据点。虽然NLP最近目睹了一种文本增强技术的负载,但该领域仍然缺乏对多种语言和序列标记任务的系统性能分析。为了填补这一差距,我们调查了三类文本增强方法,其在语法(例如,裁剪子句子),令牌(例如,随机字插入)和字符(例如,字符交换)级别上执行更改。我们系统地将它们与语音标记,依赖解析和语义角色标记的分组进行了比较,用于使用各种模型的各种语言系列,包括依赖于诸如MBERT的普赖金的多语言语境化语言模型的架构。增强最显着改善了解析,然后是语音标记和语义角色标记的依赖性解析。我们发现实验技术通常在形态上丰富的语言,而不是越南语等分析语言。我们的研究结果表明,增强技术可以进一步改善基于MBERT的强基线。我们将字符级方法标识为最常见的表演者,而同义词替换和语法增强仪提供不一致的改进。最后,我们讨论了最大依赖于任务,语言对和模型类型的结果。

Natural Language Generation (NLG) has improved exponentially in recent years thanks to the development of sequence-to-sequence deep learning technologies such as Transformer-based language models. This advancement has led to more fluent and coherent NLG, leading to improved development in downstream tasks such as abstractive summarization, dialogue generation and data-to-text generation. However, it is also apparent that deep learning based generation is prone to hallucinate unintended text, which degrades the system performance and fails to meet user expectations in many real-world scenarios. To address this issue, many studies have been presented in measuring and mitigating hallucinated texts, but these have never been reviewed in a comprehensive manner before. In this survey, we thus provide a broad overview of the research progress and challenges in the hallucination problem in NLG. The survey is organized into two parts: (1) a general overview of metrics, mitigation methods, and future directions; and (2) an overview of task-specific research progress on hallucinations in the following downstream tasks, namely abstractive summarization, dialogue generation, generative question answering, data-to-text generation, machine translation, and visual-language generation. This survey serves to facilitate collaborative efforts among researchers in tackling the challenge of hallucinated texts in NLG.

Code-Switching, a common phenomenon in written text and conversation, has been studied over decades by the natural language processing (NLP) research community. Initially, code-switching is intensively explored by leveraging linguistic theories and, currently, more machine-learning oriented approaches to develop models. We introduce a comprehensive systematic survey on code-switching research in natural language processing to understand the progress of the past decades and conceptualize the challenges and tasks on the code-switching topic. Finally, we summarize the trends and findings and conclude with a discussion for future direction and open questions for further investigation.

As an important fine-grained sentiment analysis problem, aspect-based sentiment analysis (ABSA), aiming to analyze and understand people's opinions at the aspect level, has been attracting considerable interest in the last decade. To handle ABSA in different scenarios, various tasks are introduced for analyzing different sentiment elements and their relations, including the aspect term, aspect category, opinion term, and sentiment polarity. Unlike early ABSA works focusing on a single sentiment element, many compound ABSA tasks involving multiple elements have been studied in recent years for capturing more complete aspect-level sentiment information. However, a systematic review of various ABSA tasks and their corresponding solutions is still lacking, which we aim to fill in this survey. More specifically, we provide a new taxonomy for ABSA which organizes existing studies from the axes of concerned sentiment elements, with an emphasis on recent advances of compound ABSA tasks. From the perspective of solutions, we summarize the utilization of pre-trained language models for ABSA, which improved the performance of ABSA to a new stage. Besides, techniques for building more practical ABSA systems in cross-domain/lingual scenarios are discussed. Finally, we review some emerging topics and discuss some open challenges to outlook potential future directions of ABSA.

Controllable Text Generation (CTG) is emerging area in the field of natural language generation (NLG). It is regarded as crucial for the development of advanced text generation technologies that are more natural and better meet the specific constraints in practical applications. In recent years, methods using large-scale pre-trained language models (PLMs), in particular the widely used transformer-based PLMs, have become a new paradigm of NLG, allowing generation of more diverse and fluent text. However, due to the lower level of interpretability of deep neural networks, the controllability of these methods need to be guaranteed. To this end, controllable text generation using transformer-based PLMs has become a rapidly growing yet challenging new research hotspot. A diverse range of approaches have emerged in the recent 3-4 years, targeting different CTG tasks which may require different types of controlled constraints. In this paper, we present a systematic critical review on the common tasks, main approaches and evaluation methods in this area. Finally, we discuss the challenges that the field is facing, and put forward various promising future directions. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first survey paper to summarize CTG techniques from the perspective of PLMs. We hope it can help researchers in related fields to quickly track the academic frontier, providing them with a landscape of the area and a roadmap for future research.

数据增强是解决过度合适的有效方法。许多以前的作品提出了针对NLP的不同数据增强策略,例如注入噪声,单词更换,反向翻译等。虽然有效,但它们错过了语言的一个重要特征 - 复杂性,复杂表达的含义是由其子构建的部分。在此激励的情况下,我们提出了一种称为Treemix的自然语言理解的组成数据增强方法。具体而言,Treemix利用选区解析树将句子分解为组成型子结构和混合数据增强技术以重组它们以生成新的句子。与以前的方法相比,Treemix引入了更大的多样性,并鼓励模型学习NLP数据的组成性。关于文本分类和扫描的广泛实验表明,Treemix优于当前最新数据增强方法。

Natural Language Processing (NLP) has been revolutionized by the use of Pre-trained Language Models (PLMs) such as BERT. Despite setting new records in nearly every NLP task, PLMs still face a number of challenges including poor interpretability, weak reasoning capability, and the need for a lot of expensive annotated data when applied to downstream tasks. By integrating external knowledge into PLMs, \textit{\underline{K}nowledge-\underline{E}nhanced \underline{P}re-trained \underline{L}anguage \underline{M}odels} (KEPLMs) have the potential to overcome the above-mentioned limitations. In this paper, we examine KEPLMs systematically through a series of studies. Specifically, we outline the common types and different formats of knowledge to be integrated into KEPLMs, detail the existing methods for building and evaluating KEPLMS, present the applications of KEPLMs in downstream tasks, and discuss the future research directions. Researchers will benefit from this survey by gaining a quick and comprehensive overview of the latest developments in this field.

Grammatical Error Correction (GEC) is the task of automatically detecting and correcting errors in text. The task not only includes the correction of grammatical errors, such as missing prepositions and mismatched subject-verb agreement, but also orthographic and semantic errors, such as misspellings and word choice errors respectively. The field has seen significant progress in the last decade, motivated in part by a series of five shared tasks, which drove the development of rule-based methods, statistical classifiers, statistical machine translation, and finally neural machine translation systems which represent the current dominant state of the art. In this survey paper, we condense the field into a single article and first outline some of the linguistic challenges of the task, introduce the most popular datasets that are available to researchers (for both English and other languages), and summarise the various methods and techniques that have been developed with a particular focus on artificial error generation. We next describe the many different approaches to evaluation as well as concerns surrounding metric reliability, especially in relation to subjective human judgements, before concluding with an overview of recent progress and suggestions for future work and remaining challenges. We hope that this survey will serve as comprehensive resource for researchers who are new to the field or who want to be kept apprised of recent developments.

这项研究讨论了半监督学习的影响与验证的语言模型,以生成数据到文本。当还补充大规模语言模型时,尚不清楚半监督学习是否仍然有用。这项研究的目的是通过将仅补充语言模型的数据到文本系统与两个数据到文本系统进行比较,这些系统通过数据增强或伪标记的半固定学习方法而富含数据。结果表明,半监督学习会导致多样性指标的得分更高。在输出质量方面,使用伪标记方法扩展数据到文本系统的训练集确实提高了文本质量分数,但是数据增强方法在没有训练设置扩展的情况下得出了与系统相似的分数。这些结果表明,即使也存在语言模型,半监督的学习方法也可以增强产出质量和多样性。
