- What happened
- TurnTurk-GPT predicts conversation turn-taking in Turkish by fine-tuning GPT-2 on dialogue data, outperforming multilingual baselines on real conversations.
- Why it matters
- Matters for engineers building Turkish speech interfaces, voice assistants, or real-time dialogue systems needing accurate end-of-turn detection.
- Watch out
- Model performs poorly on unseen speakers, matching zero-shot performance. Synthetic data alone is insufficient. Requires morphological cues specific to Turkish.
