Data augmentation is an important component in the robustness evaluation of models in natural language processing (NLP) and in enhancing the diversity of the data they are trained on. In this paper, we present NL-Augmenter, a new participatory Pythonbased natural language augmentation framework which supports the creation of both transformations (modifications to the data) and filters (data splits according to specific features). We describe the framework and an initial set of 117 transformations and 23 filters for a variety of natural language tasks. We demonstrate the efficacy of NL-Augmenter by using several of its tranformations to analyze the robustness of popular natural language models. The infrastructure, datacards and robutstness analysis results are available publicly on the NL-Augmenter repository (https://github. com/GEM-benchmark/NL-Augmenter).

We present in this paper an automated method to assess the quality of Jupyter notebooks. The quality of notebooks is assessed in terms of reproducibility and executability. Specifically, we automatically extract a number of expert-defined features for each notebook, perform a feature selection step, and then trained supervised binary classifiers to predict whether a notebook is reproducible and executable, respectively. We also experimented with semantic code embeddings to capture the notebooks' semantics. We have evaluated these methods on a dataset of 306,539 notebooks and achieved an F1 score of 0.87 for reproducibility and 0.96 for executability (using expert-defined features) and an F1 score of 0.81 for reproducibility and 0.78 for executability (using code embeddings). Our results suggest that semantic code embeddings can be used to determine with good performance the reproducibility and executability of Jupyter notebooks, and since they can be automatically derived, they have the advantage of no need for expert involvement to define features.

Data augmentation is an important method for evaluating the robustness of and enhancing the diversity of training data for natural language processing (NLP) models. In this paper, we present NL-Augmenter, a new participatory Python-based natural language (NL) augmentation framework which supports the creation of transformations (modifications to the data) and filters (data splits according to specific features). We describe the framework and an initial set of 117 transformations and 23 filters for a variety of NL tasks annotated with noisy descriptive tags. The transformations incorporate noise, intentional and accidental human mistakes, socio-linguistic variation, semantically-valid style, syntax changes, as well as artificial constructs that are unambiguous to humans. We demonstrate the efficacy of NL-Augmenter by using its transformations to analyze the robustness of popular language models. We find different models to be differently challenged on different tasks, with quasi-systematic score decreases. The infrastructure, datacards, and robustness evaluation results are publicly available on GitHub for the benefit of researchers working on paraphrase generation, robustness analysis, and low-resource NLP.
