+# Random Swap

+
+## What type of a transformation is this?
+This transformation could augment the semantic representation of the sentence as well as test model robustness by swapping words.
+
+
+## What tasks does it intend to benefit?
+This perturbation would benefit all tasks on text classification and generation.
+
+Benchmark results:
+
+- Text Classification: we run sentiment analysis on a 1% sample of the IMDB dataset. The original accuracy is 96.0 and the perturbed accuracy is 96.0.
+```
+{'accuracy': 96.0,
+ 'dataset_name': 'imdb',
+ 'model_name': 'aychang/roberta-base-imdb',
+ 'no_of_examples': 250,
+ 'pt_accuracy': 96.0,
+ 'split': 'test[:1%]'}
+```
+- Text summarization: we run text summarization on a 1% sample of the xsum dataset. The original bleu is 15.99 and the perturbed bleu is 16.1.
+```
+{'bleu': 15.989230311212195,
+ 'dataset_name': 'xsum',
+ 'model_name': 'sshleifer/distilbart-xsum-12-6',
+ 'pt_bleu': 16.09338711985113,
+ 'split': 'test[:1%]'}
+```
+## Related Work
+This perturbation is adapted from our TextAugment library https://github.com/dsfsi/textaugment

+
+
+## What are the limitations of this transformation?
+The transformation's outputs may change the meaning of the sentence by adding grammatical errors.
