| Challenge: | a major barrier to research on CS has been the lack of large multilingual, multi-genre CS-annotated corpora. |
| Approach: | They propose a web-based annotation system that manages large-scale CS data annotation. |
| Outcome: | The proposed system can manage large-scale multilingual code switching (CS) data annotation. |
