Data augmentation techniques are essential for training machine learning algorithms, where the initial data set is smaller than required due to the model complexity. In machine learning models, the robustness of the training process is highly dependent on large volumes of labeled data, which are expensive to produce. An effective approach to deal with this problem is to automatically generate new tagged examples using data augmentation techniques. In the processing of natural language, particularly in the Spanish language, there is a lack of well-defined techniques that allow increasing a set of data. In this article, we propose a set of heuristics for data augmentation in NLP, which are applied to the domain of reviews of scientific articles.
