摘要

Spoken language identification (SLID) under real-world class imbalance remains a bottleneck for multilingual voice applications. This study introduces an incremental, imbalance-aware framework that fuses self-supervised XLS-R embeddings through a dual-stream gated-attention classifier and augments minority classes with diffusion-based audio synthesis. Class-balanced focal loss and elastic-weight consolidation jointly preserve recall for low-resource languages while preventing catastrophic forgetting when new languages are added. On the Indian languages audio dataset, the framework attains a macro- \(\hbox {F}_1\) of 0.995 for three languages and sustains 0.818 after expansion to ten languages, surpassing the strongest published baseline by 6 percentage points. A Friedman aligned-rank test yields \(\chi ^2(3)=0.067\) , \(p=0.9955\) , and a critical difference of 2.708 at \(\alpha =0.05\) , indicating no significant differences among the compared configurations. These results demonstrate the framework’s robustness under severe class imbalance and its suitability for scalable, low-resource SLID deployment in linguistically diverse environments.
