RT Book,_Section T1 Comparing two Basic Methods for Discriminating Between Similar Languages and Varieties A1 Gamallo Otero, Pablo A1 Pichel, José Ramom A1 Alegria Loinaz, Iñaki A1 Agirrezabal, Manex K1 Language Identification AB This article describes the systems submitted by the Citius Ixa Imaxin team to the Discriminating Similar Languages Shared Task 2016. The systems are based on two different strategies: classification with ranked dictionaries and Naive Bayes classifiers. The results of the evaluation show that ranking dictionaries are more sound and stable across different domains while basic bayesian models perform reasonably well on in-domain datasets, but their performance drops when they are applied on out-of-domain texts.
