Strategies of Code-switching in Human-Machine Dialogs

This repository contains the analysis code for the experiments described in our paper:

Strategies of Code-switching in Human-Machine Dialogs Bilingualism: Language and Cognition (2025)

Overview

This directory contains analysis tools of the project.

First, there is a streamlit application with interactive dashboards; one for a single dialog session and another, for aggregate, multiple sessions.

To run the streamlit app

streamlit run app/home.py

The single dialog dashboard includes all the information included in the json file, including the chat, questionnaires’ answers, game time, bot’s version, as well as other post-process dialog properties.

In addition, there is jupyter notebook explore.ipynb (under offline/analysis/) analysing a compact csv version of all the data.
