Incremental imbalance-aware deep learning framework for multilingual spoken language identification
摘要
Spoken language identification (SLID) under real-world class imbalance remains a bottleneck for multilingual voice applications. This study introduces an incremental, imbalance-aware framework that fuses self-supervised XLS-R embeddings through a dual-stream gated-attention classifier and augments minority classes with diffusion-based audio synthesis. Class-balanced focal loss and elastic-weight consolidation jointly preserve recall for low-resource languages while preventing catastrophic forgetting when new languages are added. On the Indian languages audio dataset, the framework attains a macro-
