This repository contains the dialect extension to the xSID corpus by van der Goot et al. (NAACL 2021). The corpus was extended with Neapolitan and Swiss German (Bernese) dialect translations. With the extended corpus we created the shared task Slot and Intent Detection for Low-Resource Language Varieties (SID4LR) which we organized as part of the Natural Language Processing for Similar Language Varieties and Dialects (VarDial) workshop co-located with EACL 2023.
The shared task is available here: https://bitbucket.org/robvanderg/sid4lr/src/master/
Please cite the paper Findings of the VarDial Evaluation Campaign 2023 for the SID4LR shared task and if you use v4.0 of the xSID corpus.

The campaign is part of the tenth workshop on Natural Language Processing (NLP) for Similar Languages, Varieties and Dialects (VarDial), co-located with EACL 2023. Three separate shared tasks were included this year: Slot and intent detection for low-resource language varieties (SID4LR), Discriminating Between Similar Languages {--} True Labels (DSL-TL), and Discriminating Between Similar Languages {--} Speech (DSL-S). All three tasks were organized for the first time this year.",
