We propose a two-stage Encoder-Decoder-based E2E model. The encoder module consists of 1D depth-wise separable convolutions with Squeeze-and-Excitation (SE) layers with a global context. The decoder module uses an attentive temporal pooling mechanism to get fixed length time-independent feature representation. The total number of parameters in the model is around 22.1 M, which is relatively light compared to using some large-scale pre-trained speech models. We achieved an EER of 15.6% in the closed track and 11.1% in the open track (baseline system 22.1%). We also curated additional LangId data from YouTube videos (having Singaporean speakers), which will be released for public use.","url_abs":"https://arxiv.org/abs/2306.00736v1","url_pdf":"https://arxiv.org/pdf/2306.00736v1.pdf","source":{"archive":"pwc-archive (Hugging Face), CC BY-SA 4.0","snapshot":"2025-07-28","licence_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/legalcode","row_kind":"abstracts"},"code_links":[{"paper_slug":"spoken-language-identification-system-for","repo_url":"https://github.com/shashikg/lid-code-switching","is_official":1,"mentioned_in_paper":1,"mentioned_in_github":0,"framework":"pytorch","reach":null}],"tasks":[{"task_slug":"decoder","task_name":"Decoder"},{"task_slug":"language-identification","task_name":"Language Identification"},{"task_slug":"spoken-language-identification","task_name":"Spoken language identification"}],"methods":[],"datasets_introduced":[],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[],"syntology":{"atlas_url":null,"mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
