📢 Ladies and gentleman, let us introduce...

🥁🥁🥁🥁

...LinCE! The first linguistic code-switching evaluation benchmark! LinCE has 10 datasets, 5 language pairs, 4 tasks and 5 leaderboards for CS text!

👉Paper https://t.co/HF6HmFORVU

[RiTUAL Lab @ UH @RiTUAL_Lab]

We also thank and acknowledge the authors of the original datasets that we used in LinCE. Without their efforts this platform wouldn't be possible.

We recognize their work by adding each paper in our website along with the BibTex so that LinCE users can easily cite them!

[RiTUAL Lab @ UH @RiTUAL_Lab]

This work is authored by @tavoaguilar91, @cryptexcode, and @thamar_solorio. We also thank our awesome UH undergrads that help on the creation of the website: Jason Ho, Tarun Appannagari, and Dwija Parikh. 👏👏👏
