mixup-text

This repository contains implementation of mixup strategy for text classification. The implementation is primarily based on the paper Augmenting Data with Mixup for Sentence Classification: An Empirical Study , although there is some difference.

Three variants of mixup are considered for text classification

1. Embedding mixup: Texts are mixed immediately after word embeedding
2. Hidden/Encoder mixup: Mixup is done prior to the last fully connected layer
3. Sentence mixup: Mixup is done before softmax

Results

Some experimental results on TREC, SST-1, IMDB, AG's News and DBPedia datasets. rand referes to models initialized randomly. finetune is models initialized with pretrained word vector (GloVe or BERT).

Results are mean accuracy of 10 runs for all datasets, except for DBPedia where it is average of 3 runs. Note that for fastText model there is only one variant of mixup as it is a linear model.
