Strategies of Code-switching in Human-Machine Dialogs

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

Strategies of Code-switching in Human-Machine Dialogs arXiv:2508.07325

Overview

Our project implements a Map-Task chatbot used to study code-switching in human–machine interactions. It features a client–server architecture:

• Client: A React-based web application providing the interactive map-task interface for participants.
• Server: A Python Flask application implementing the chatbot agent logic and handling communication with the client.

In addition, the repository includes an analysis/ directory containing scripts and notebooks for post-processing and analyzing collected data from our experiments.
