Abstract
In the text classification problem, the imbalance of labels in datasets affect the performance of the text-classification models. Practically, the data about user comments on social networking sites not altogether appeared - the administrators often only allow positive comments and hide negative comments. Thus, when collecting the data about user comments on the social network, the data is usually skewed about one label, which leads the dataset to become imbalanced and deteriorate the model's ability. The data augmentation techniques are applied to solve the imbalance problem between classes of the dataset, increasing the prediction model's accuracy. In this paper, we performed augmentation techniques on the VLSP2019 Hate Speech Detection on Vietnamese social texts and the UIT - VSFC: Vietnamese Students' Feedback Corpus for Sentiment Analysis. The result of augmentation increases by about 1.5% in the F1-macro score on both corpora.
