  1. Baseline system + leaderboards are up for #MerlionChallenge untangling complex code-mixed speech. Which #ML #DeepLearning #SpeechProc system will do the best job on complex language use in the wild? 👀

    TWO TEAMS have already beaten the baseline for Language ID:
    🎉Lingua_Lumos (Closed)
    🎉UNSW_Signal_Processing (Open)

    There’s still time to join the challenge and prep your paper for our special session at #Interspeech2023

  2. Have you ever seen auto-generated subtitles turn to mush because they couldn’t handle a speaker’s accent or figure out what language they’re speaking after a switch?

    The #MerlionChallenge for #Interspeech23 tests how well teams can build a language detection system for Code-Switching in >300 Zoom recordings.

    Help build robust systems for multilingualism by joining the challenge or sharing with #ML #DeepLearning #SpeechProc friends 💪🏼💪🏽💪🏿

  3. Most AI speech processing systems are developed using samples of monolingual speech between adults. #WEIRDbias

    We hope the #MerlionChallenge at @Interspeech 2023 pushes the frontiers of how automated systems handle the diverse kinds of #translanguaging we see in the world 🌍

    If you want to see better tools for #LangDev #Multilingualism #DiverseVoices and #GlobalLanguages then help us ✨boost✨ these posts can reach all the lovely #SpeechProc and #CognitiveScience folks!

  4. For the #MerlionChallenge at #Interspeech we’ll be asking teams to train a #SpeechProc / #AI system that can guess which language is which (Task 1: Language ID) and when (Task 2: Language Diarization)!

    👉Challenge audio is Zoom recordings with English and/or Mandarin Chinese
    👉Audio for development matches audio for evaluation 😗👌

  5. I’m sure I have a bunch of #Multilingual #LangDev, #SpeechProc #NLP and #CogSci friends over here 🦣

    We’ve prepped >30hrs of our English/Mandarin code-switched child directed speech for the #MerlionChallenge at this year’s INTERSPEECH
    >300 files, >100 voices 🙀 (+ training data)

    We’re looking for speech systems that can figure out which language is spoken when!

    The #MerlionChallenge will see whose system does the best job 💪🏼
