Code-switching is the use of multiple languages in the same utterance and is common in multilingual communities across the world. Code-switching poses many challenges to speech and NLP systems and has gained widespread interest in academia and industry recently. We organized special sessions on code-switching at Interspeech 2017, 2018 and 2019. In 2020, we will be organizing this as a virtual workshop immediately after Interspeech 2020.
We welcome papers related to, but not restricted to the following aspects of code-switching:
- Code-switched speech recognition and synthesis
- Language Modeling for code-switching
- Multilingual models for code-switching
- Data and resources for code-switching
- Code-switched chatbots and dialogue systems
- Code-switched speech analytics
