The NL-Augmenter is a collaborative effort intended to add transformations of datasets dealing with natural language. We invite submissions of transformations to this framework by way of GitHub pull request, through August 1, 2021. All submitters of accepted transformations (and filters) will be included as co-authors on a paper announcing this framework.
The framework organizers can be contacted at [email protected].
Submission timeline
Due date | Description |
---|---|
August 1, 2021 | Pull request must be opened to be eligible for inclusion in the framework and associated paper |
August 22, 2021 | Review process for pull request above must be complete |
A transformation can be revised between the pull request submission and pull request merge deadlines. We will provide reviewer feedback to help with the revisions.
The transformations which are already accepted to NL-Augmenter are summarized in this table. Transformations undergoing review can be seen as pull requests.

Instructions
# When creating a new transformation, replace this with your forked repository (see below)
git clone https://github.com/GEM-benchmark/NL-Augmenter.git
cd NL-Augmenter
python setup.py sdist
pip install https://github.com/explosion/spacy-models/releases/download/en_core_web_sm-2.2.0/en_core_web_sm-2.2.0.tar.gz
First, fork the repository in GitHub! π΄
Your fork will have its own location, which we will call PATH_TO_YOUR_FORK
.
Next, clone the forked repository and create a branch for your transformation, which here we will call my_awesome_transformation:
git clone $PATH_TO_YOUR_FORK
cd NL-Augmenter
git checkout -b my_awesome_transformation
We will base our transformation on an existing example. Create a new transformation directory by copying over an existing transformation:
cd transformations/
cp -r butter_fingers_perturbation my_awesome_transformation
cd my_awesome_transformation
- In the file
transformation.py
, rename the classButterFingersPerturbation
toMyAwesomeTransformation
and choose one of the interfaces from theinterfaces/
folder. See the full list of options here. - Now put all your creativity in implementing the
generate
method. If you intend to use external libraries, add them with their version numbers inrequirements.txt
Testing and evaluating (Optional)
Once you are done, add at least 5 example pairs as test cases in the file test.json
so that no one breaks your code inadvertently and update my_awesome_transformation/README.md
to describe your transformation.
Once the transformation is ready, test it:
pytest -s --t=my_awesome_transformation
If you would like to evaluate your transformation against a common π€HuggingFace model, we encourage you to check evaluation
Code Styling To standardized the code we use the black code formatter which will run at the time of pre-commit.
To use the pre-commit hook, install pre-commit
with pip install pre-commit
(should already be installed if you followed the above instructions).
Then run pre-commit install
to install the hook. On future commits, you should see the black code formatter is run on all python files you've staged for commit.
Once the tests pass and you are happy with the transformation, submit them for review. First, commit and push your changes:
git add transformations/my_awesome_transformation/*
git commit -m "Added my_awesome_transformation"
git push --set-upstream origin my_awesome_transformation
Finally, submit a pull request.
The last git push
command prints a URL that can be copied into a browser to initiate such a pull request.
Alternatively, you can do so from the GitHub website.
β¨ Congratulations, you've submitted a transformation to NL-Augmenter! β¨
We also accept pull-requests for creating filters which identify interesting subpopulations of a dataset. The process to add a new filter is just the same as above. All filter implementations require implementing .filter
instead of .generate
and need to be placed in the filters folder. So, just the way transformations can transform examples of text, filters can identify whether an example follows some pattern of text! The only difference is that while transformations return another example of the same input format, filters simply return True or False! For step-by-step instructions, follow these steps.
