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 💪🏼💪🏽💪🏿

The #MerlionChallenge will see whose system does the best job 💪🏼 Join or help us boost the message: https://sites.google.com/view/merlion-ccs-challenge/
