Kazakh-Russian code-switching identification bottleneck is annotation, not model

A new paper on arXiv explores the identification of code-switching between Kazakh and Russian languages, finding that the annotation boundary is more critical than the model used. Researchers developed a gold LID (Language Identification) set with specific guidelines for integrated borrowings versus clause-level switches. When tested, models like FastText, Lingua, and XLM-RoBERTa showed varying performance, highlighting that the annotation definition, rather than the model class itself, is the primary bottleneck for accurate identification.

IMPACT Highlights the importance of clear annotation guidelines in NLP tasks, suggesting improvements in data labeling could be more impactful than solely focusing on advanced models for code-switching identification.

    Loanword or Switch? The Annotation Boundary, Not the Model, Drives Kazakh-Russian Code-Switching Identification

    arXiv:2608.00581v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Off-the-shelf LID and letter heuristics over-label Kazakh-Russian social text as mixed: Russian loanwords inside Kazakh look like code-switching under a shared Cyrillic script. We release a document-level gold LID set whose guidelin…
