Multilingual Conversational Speech Language Model
MLC-SLM 2026: 2nd Multilingual Conversational Speech Language Model Challenge and Workshop
In conjunction with
INTERSPEECH 2026
September 27, 2026 - October 1, 2026
International Convention Centre Sydney
Sydney, Australia
A challenge and workshop on multilingual conversational speech language models. A challenge with a shared task, so results are directly comparable. Multilingual conversational speech is a demanding target because it combines code-switching, disfluency and accent variation that clean read-speech corpora do not contain. Low-resource languages within the multilingual setting are where systems typically fail, and where the challenge is most informative.
