------------------------------------------------------------------------***------------------------------------------------------------------------Abstract: As large language models (LLMs) consistently exhibit impressive performance in various natural language processing (NLP) tasks, their ability to adapt to low-resource languages presents a significant hurdle. The scarcity of labeled data in these languages hampers the fine-tuning process, affecting the model's capacity to effectively grasp language intricacies.

This study delves into exploring data augmentation strategies to tackle the challenge of limited labeled data when finetuning LLMs for low-resource languages.

The research investigates a range of data augmentation techniques tailored to linguistic characteristics, aiming to enrich the labeled dataset and improve model generalization. Methods such as synonym replacement, paraphrasing, and contextual word insertion are scrutinized to determine their effectiveness in addressing the data sparsity challenge.

Moreover, the study takes into account linguistic constraints specific to low-resource languages to develop augmentation approaches that respect language syntax, semantics, and cultural context.

To assess the proposed strategies, experiments are carried out using a benchmark dataset representative of the lowresource language in question. Comparative analyses are conducted to evaluate the impact of each augmentation technique on the model's performance in various downstream tasks. Additionally, the study explores the trade-offs between increased data diversity and the potential introduction of noise, providing insights into achieving the optimal balance for effective fine-tuning.

The research findings contribute to the expanding knowledge base on adapting cutting-edge language models to lowresource languages. The identified data augmentation strategies offer practical insights for researchers and practitioners engaged in NLP tasks in linguistically diverse and underrepresented languages. By addressing the challenges posed by labeled data scarcity, this study aims to facilitate the broader application of LLMs in real-world scenarios across a spectrum of languages, promoting inclusivity and linguistic diversity in natural language processing applications.
