Comparison: malaysian-manglish-nlp vs Malaya

Fair comparison on identical Manglish test sets. Malaya v5.x tested with same hardware.

Task malaysian-manglish-nlp Malaya Δ Notes
Sentiment (3-class) 91.2% 84.7% +6.5 Malaya trained on formal Malay
Emotion 84.7% 78.3% +6.4 Malaya: 6-class vs our 7-class
NER 87.5% 89.1% -1.6 Malaya has larger training set
POS tagging 94.2% 95.8% -1.6 Malaya uses bigger corpus
Code-switching 89.7% - - Malaya lacks this module
Normalization 88.4% 81.2% +7.2 Malaya doesn't handle Manglish slang
Hate speech 92.8% 86.4% +6.4 Malaya: formal text only
Translation (ms→en) - BLEU 42.1 - Malaya uses larger parallel corpus
Import time 0.42s 3.8s -3.4s Malaya loads TensorFlow eagerly
Memory 180 MB 1.2 GB -1 GB Malaya: full TF runtime
Throughput (sentiment) 23.4k/s 4.1k/s 5.7� - CPU inference comparison

Where Malaya wins

  • NER & POS: Larger annotated corpora for formal Malay
  • Translation: More parallel data, better BLEU scores
  • Speech: Malaya has TTS/STT; malaysian-manglish-nlp does not (yet)

Where malaysian-manglish-nlp wins

  • Manglish/informal text: Purpose-built for code-mixed content
  • Speed: Lightweight models, no heavy runtime dependency
  • Code-switching detection: Malaya lacks this entirely
  • Memory: 6� - smaller footprint
  • Hate speech on social media: Trained on real Malaysian social corpus

Performance Over Time

Latency (ms) per text across versions:

Version Sentiment NER Pipeline Import
v1.0.0 12.4 28.7 45.2 2.1s
v2.0.0 5.8 11.3 18.9 0.9s
v3.0.0 3.1 6.7 8.9 0.42s

Improvement from v1 → v3: - Sentiment: 4� - faster - NER: 4.3� - faster - Import: 5� - faster

Methodology

Test Corpus

  • Source: Malaysian Twitter/X, Reddit r/malaysia, Lowyat forums, WhatsApp messages (anonymized)
  • Size: 10,247 annotated samples across all tasks
  • Annotation: 3 native Malay speakers, inter-annotator agreement κ = 0.84
  • Split: 70/15/15 train/dev/test (stratified by label)
  • Code-mixing ratio: 42% pure Malay, 31% Manglish, 18% ms-en mix, 9% other

Evaluation Protocol

  • All metrics reported on held-out test set only (no data leakage)
  • Models evaluated in inference-only mode (no fine-tuning on test data)
  • Latency measured as median over 1000 runs after 100-run warmup
  • Throughput measured with sequential single-threaded processing
  • Batch throughput uses batch size 64 with pre-tokenized inputs

Interpreting Results

  • Accuracy/F1: Higher is better. F1 accounts for class imbalance.
  • Latency: Median ms per text. Lower is better.
  • Throughput: Texts/sec. Higher is better.
  • Memory: RSS after model load. Lower is better.

If your hardware differs significantly from our benchmark machine, expect proportional scaling. CPU clock speed matters most for single-text latency; core count matters for batch throughput.
