DATA COLLECTION GUIDELINES

Manual Annotation Guidelines

Scam Classification:

  1. Scam: Message attempts to extract money, personal info, or OTP
  2. Legitimate: Normal conversation, business transaction, or service notification
  3. Ambiguous: Context-dependent (mark confidence <0.8)

Annotation Process:

  1. Read message carefully
  2. Identify scam indicators (keywords, urgency, threats)
  3. Determine scam type (if applicable)
  4. Assign confidence score (1.0 = certain, 0.5 = unsure)
  5. Add notes for ambiguous cases

Quality Checks:

  • Each message reviewed by 2 annotators
  • Disagreements resolved by senior annotator
  • Inter-annotator agreement target: >90%

Synthetic Data Generation

Using Groq Llama 3.1 for Data Augmentation:

import groq

client = groq.Groq(api_key="your_key")

def generate_scam_messages(scam_type: str, language: str, count: int):
    """Generate synthetic scam messages"""
    prompt = f"""
    Generate {count} realistic {scam_type} scam messages in {language}.
    Each message should be typical of Indian scams.
    Format: One message per line.
    """
    
    response = client.chat.completions.create(
        model="llama-3.1-70b-versatile",
        messages=[{"role": "user", "content": prompt}],
        temperature=0.8
    )
    
    messages = response.choices[0].message.content.split('\n')
    return [msg.strip() for msg in messages if msg.strip()]

# Generate 100 lottery scams in English
lottery_scams_en = generate_scam_messages("lottery", "English", 100)

# Generate 100 bank fraud scams in Hindi
bank_scams_hi = generate_scam_messages("bank fraud", "Hindi", 100)

DATA QUALITY METRICS

Quality Assurance Checks

1. Label Balance:

  • Scam:Legitimate ratio target: 60:40
  • Prevents model bias toward majority class

2. Language Distribution:

  • English: 50%
  • Hindi: 40%
  • Hinglish: 10%

3. Difficulty Distribution:

  • Easy: 50%
  • Medium: 35%
  • Hard: 15%

4. Scam Type Coverage:

Scam Type Target %
Lottery/Prize 25%
Bank Fraud 25%
Police Threat 20%
Phishing 15%
Courier Fraud 10%
Other 5%

Data Validation Script

import json
from collections import Counter

def validate_dataset(jsonl_file: str):
    """Validate dataset quality"""
    with open(jsonl_file, 'r') as f:
        data = [json.loads(line) for line in f]
    
    # Check required fields
    required_fields = ['id', 'message', 'language', 'label']
    for item in data:
        assert all(field in item for field in required_fields), f"Missing field in {item['id']}"
    
    # Check label balance
    label_counts = Counter(item['label'] for item in data)
    scam_ratio = label_counts['scam'] / len(data)
    assert 0.55 <= scam_ratio <= 0.65, f"Label imbalance: {scam_ratio}"
    
    # Check language distribution
    lang_counts = Counter(item['language'] for item in data)
    print(f"Language distribution: {dict(lang_counts)}")
    
    # Check for duplicates
    ids = [item['id'] for item in data]
    assert len(ids) == len(set(ids)), "Duplicate IDs found"
    
    print(f"✅ Dataset validation passed: {len(data)} samples")

# Run validation
validate_dataset("scam_detection_train.jsonl")

DATA AUGMENTATION STRATEGIES

Technique 1: Paraphrasing

# Original: "You won 10 lakh rupees!"
# Augmented:
# - "Congratulations! You have won ₹10,00,000!"
# - "You are the winner of 10 lakh rupees prize!"
# - "10 lakh rupees is now yours! Claim now!"

Technique 2: Back-Translation

# English → Hindi → English
# Original: "Send OTP to claim prize"
# Hindi: "पुरस्कार का दावा करने के लिए OTP भेजें"
# Back to English: "Send OTP for claiming the reward"

Technique 3: Entity Replacement

# Replace entities while preserving structure
# Original: "Send to scammer@paytm"
# Augmented:
# - "Send to fraud@phonepe"
# - "Send to thief@ybl"
# - "Send to fake@oksbi"
