This paper describes the DCU-UVT team’s participation in the Language Identification in Code-Switched Data shared task in the Workshop on Computational Approaches to Code Switching. Word-level classification experiments were carried out using a simple dictionary-based method, linear kernel support vector machines (SVMs) with and without contextual clues, and a k-nearest neighbour approach. Based on these experiments, we select our SVM-based system with contextual clues as our final system and present results for the Nepali-English and Spanish-English datasets.
