Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Multilingual individuals code switch between languages as part of a complex communication process. |
| Approach: | They propose to model the social and contextual factors eliciting code switching in a rich contextual environment by analyzing 330K articles and 389K comments labeled for code switching behavior. |
| Outcome: | The proposed model shows that topic-driven variation, tribal affiliation, emotional valence, and audience design all play complementary roles in behavior. |
