The quality of a Neural Machine Translation system depends substantially on the availability of sizable parallel corpora. For low-resource language pairs this is not the case, resulting in poor translation quality. Inspired by work in computer vision, we propose a novel data augmentation approach that targets low-frequency words by generating new sentence pairs containing rare words in new, synthetically created contexts. Experimental results on simulated low-resource settings show that our method improves translation quality by up to 2.9 BLEU points over the baseline and up to 3.2 BLEU over back-translation.

  1. Backtranslation and paraphrasing in the LLM era? Comparing data augmentation methods for emotion classification

    cs.CL 2025-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Backtranslation and paraphrasing produce competitive or better classification gains than zero-shot and few-shot generation when augmenting a low-resource emotion dataset.

  2. CP-Dilatation: A Copy-and-Paste Augmentation Method for Preserving the Boundary Context Information of Histopathology Images

    eess.IV 2025-07 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    CP-Dilatation, which dilates the copy-paste mask to include tumor boundary context, modestly improves histopathology segmentation on DigestPath2019 and Warwick-QU.
