Analyzing the Impact of Augmentation Techniques on Deep Learning Models for Deceptive Review Detection: A Comparative Study

Abstract

Deep Learning has brought forth captivating applications, and among them, Natural Language Processing (NLP) stands out. This study delves into the role of the data augmentation training strategy in advancing NLP. Data augmentation involves the creation of synthetic training data through transformations, and it is a well-explored research area across various machine learning domains. Apart from enhancing a model's generalization capabilities, data augmentation addresses a wide range of challenges, such as limited training data, regularization of the learning objective, and privacy protection by limiting data usage. The objective of this study is to investigate how data augmentation improves model accuracy and precise predictions, specifically using deep learning-based models. Furthermore, the study conducts a comparative analysis between deep learning models without data augmentation and those with data augmentation.
