Zusammenfassung:Data augmentation generates synthetic data by making changes in data already obtained. It is applied to distinct data types like images, audio, and text. For textual data augmentation, many works propose restrictive transformations, for instance, they only work with one language (monolingual) or create samples with a fixed length [1]-[4]. In this work, we propose NEO Natural language Data Augmentation (NEO-NDA), a more comprehensive tool able to address data generation and rebalancing datasets. It supports data augmentation of minority classes. NEO-NDA is able to work with multiple languages, besides implementing distinct transformations to create new samples. Our results show that NEO-NDA was able to boost the performance of ML models with all datasets evaluated and, in some cases, doubling the performance in comparison with original datasets when no data augmentation method is used.
