Abstract

People do not always use Unicode, rather, they mix multiple languages. The processing of codemixed data becomes challenging due to the linguistic complexities. The noisy text increases the complexities of language identification. The dataset used in this article contains Facebook and Twitter messages collected through Facebook graph API and twitter API. The annotated English Punjabi code mixed dataset has been trained using a pipeline Dictionary Vectorizer, N-gram approach with some features. Furthermore, classifiers used are Logistic Regression, Decision Tree Classifier and Gaussian Naïve Bayes are used to perform language identification at word level. The results show that Logistic Regression performs best with an accuracy of 86.63 with an F-1 measure of 0.88. The success of machine learning approaches depends on the quality of labeled corpora.
