合成数据位置比数量更重要，能显著提升语用功能分类效果

Synthetic data augmentation has become a common strategy for addressing class imbalance in NLP, but most approaches focus on the quantity and diversity of generated examples rather than their geometric relationship to real training data. We investigate this question in the context of discourse pragmatic function classification, a task where data sparsity is a structural feature rather than a collection artefact. Using 410 manually annotated instances of the English word look drawn from the British National Corpus, spanning four functions: Attention Signal, Directive, Discourse Marker, and Interjection. We generate synthetic training examples with Llama 3.1 and partition them by their cosine distance from real training data in RoBERTa embedding space. We compare six training conditions that differ in the placement of synthetic examples relative to the empirical decision boundary, while holding augmentation quantity constant across conditions. All augmented conditions improve macro F and accuracy over the real only baseline, but core proximal examples (NEAR) yield the largest gains in macro F (0.113), while a distance balanced mix achieves the highest accuracy (0.748). No condition improves AUC, indicating that augmentation shifts the decision boundary rather than improving the model's underlying probability estimates. These findings suggest that where synthetic examples land in representation space matters as much as how many are generated, with implications for low resource pragmatic classification more broadly.
