Language identification is a research area focused on developing algorithms and techniques to automatically detect and determine the language of a given text or speech sample. This field is important for various applications, such as language translation, speech recognition, and content categorization. Researchers in language identification work on developing models that can accurately classify and identify the language of text or speech samples, typically using machine learning and natural language processing techniques. The goal is to create robust and efficient systems that can accurately identify the language of any given input, regardless of its length or complexity.
