Abstract

We present CS-YODAS, a Creative Commons-licensed dataset of in-the-wild code-switched speech mined from multilingual YouTube data. Code-switching (CS), or the alternation between languages within an utterance or conversation, is common in multilingual settings but remains underrepresented in existing CS speech resources, which are typically small, domain-specific, or artificially constructed. Building on the YODAS corpus, we develop a scalable, human-in-the-loop pipeline for identifying and validating naturally occurring code-switching. The resulting dataset, which totals 313 hours and spans 7 matrix languages, provides diverse, real-world examples of spontaneous code-switched speech. We further analyze the distribution and characteristics of code-switching in the wild, examining language-pair frequencies and switching patterns, and report baseline results for spoken language identification. We hope that CS-YODAS will encourage broader and more comprehensive research on code-switched speech. Dataset link: this https URL.
