Abstract

Language Identification in code-mixed social media text contest aimed at Multilingual Meta Embeddings (MME), a productive method to learn multilingual representations for Language Identification. Language mixing occurs at a sentence boundary, within a sentence, or a word in code-mixing. This paper proffers an MME-driven language identification mechanism for code-mixed text. This study zeroed in on the comparison of different classifiers on Hindi-English code-mixed text data obtained from LinCE Benchmark corpus. LinCE is a centralized benchmark for linguistic code-switching evaluation that integrates ten corpora from four different code-switched language pairings with four tasks. Each instance in the dataset was a code-mixed sentence, and each token in the sentence was associated with a language label. Then we experimented with using different classifiers such as convolutional neural network, Gated Recurrent Unit, Long Short-Term Memory, Bidirectional Long Short-Term Memory, and Bidirectional Gated Recurrent Unit and we observed BiLstm outperformed well. A multilingual meta embedding technique was empirically evaluated for language identification.
