Robust Language Identification for Romansh Varieties
The Romansh language has several regional varieties, called idioms, which sometimes have limited mutual intelligibility. Despite this linguistic diversity, there has been a lack of documented efforts to build a language identification (LID) system that can distinguish between these idioms. Since Romansh LID should also be able to recognize Rumantsch Grischun, a supra-regional variety that combines elements of several idioms, this makes for a novel and interesting classification problem. In this paper, we present a LID system for Romansh idioms based on an SVM approach. We evaluate our model on a newly curated benchmark across two domains and find that it reaches an average in-domain accur...
