• Abstract: Multilingual speakers tend to alternate between languages within a conversation, a phenomenon referred to as "code-switching" (CS). CS is a complex phenomenon that not only encompasses linguistic challenges, but also contains a great deal of complexity in terms of its dynamic behaviour across speakers. This dynamic behaviour has been studied by sociologists and psychologists, identifying factors affecting CS. In this paper, we provide an empirical user study on Arabic-English CS, where we show the correlation between users' CS frequency and character traits. We use machine learning (ML) to validate the findings, informing and confirming existing theories. The predictive models were able to predict users' CS frequency with an accuracy higher than 55%, where travel experiences and personality traits played the biggest role in the modeling process.

  The paper argues that token-level language models should be marginalized into character-level language models before they are used in psycholinguistic studies. We find various focal areas whose surprisal is a better psychometric predictor than the surprisal of the region of interest itself.

  Code-switching (CS) is a linguistic phenomenon exhibited by multilingual individuals, where they tend to alternate between languages within one single conversation. We use machine learning (ML) to predict users' CS levels based on their profiles. Our results show that the CS behaviour is affected by the relation between speakers, travel experiences as well as Neuroticism and Extraversion personality traits.

This survey differs from its counterparts by involving the widest spectrum of social phenomena and interaction settings. Some major observations are: the most often used nonverbal cue, computational method, interaction environment, and sensing approach are speaking activity, support vector machines, and meetings composed of 3-4 persons equipped with microphones and cameras, respectively.

  Code-Switching (CS) is a common phenomenon observed in several bilingual and multilingual communities. We present a novel vantage point of CS to be style variations between both the participating languages. We propose a two-stage generative adversarial training approach where the first stage generates competitive negative examples for CS and the second stage generates more realistic CS sentences.
