#MerlionChallenge #Interspeech

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 😗👌

The #MerlionChallenge is a 🌏 collab between psycholinguists at NTU in Singapore (me, Victoria Chua, Fei Ting Woon) and Engineers at JHU, TUD and NTU (Leibny Paola GarciaPerera, Sanjeev Khudanpur, Justin Dauwels, Hexin Liu, Andy Khong) for #Interspeech 2023
