Improving Language Identification for Code-Switched Speech: The Pivotal Role of Accented English (2026.findings-eacl)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Existing models fail to identify English spoken with the accent of the matrix (dominant) language. |
| Approach: | They propose to fine tune existing LID models with accented English to improve code-switched LID . they use a metric that captures relative ranking of identified languages often overlooked by traditional metrics. |
| Outcome: | The proposed model can be fine tuned with small amounts of accented English without degrading performance on monolingual speech. |
