The objective of this work is to find temporal boundaries between signs in continuous sign language. Motivated by the paucity of annotation available for this task, we propose a simple yet effective algorithm to improve segmentation…
The recognition of sign language is a challenging task with an important role in society to facilitate the communication of deaf persons. We propose a new approach of Spatial-Temporal Graph Convolutional Network to sign language recognition…
The objective of this work is to annotate sign instances across a broad vocabulary in continuous sign language. We train a Transformer model to ingest a continuous signing stream and output a sequence of written tokens on a large-scale…
Our objective is to translate continuous sign language into spoken language text. Inspired by the way human interpreters rely on context for accurate translation, we incorporate additional contextual cues together with the signing video,…
The objective of this work is to align asynchronous subtitles in sign language videos with limited labelled data. To achieve this goal, we propose a novel framework with the following contributions: (1) we leverage fundamental grammatical…
Sign language segmentation is a crucial task in sign language processing systems. It enables downstream tasks such as sign recognition, transcription, and machine translation. In this work, we consider two kinds of segmentation:…
Continuous Sign Language Recognition (CSLR) is a crucial task for understanding the languages of deaf communities. Contemporary keypoint-based approaches typically rely on spatio-temporal encoding, where spatial interactions among keypoints…
This work tackles the challenge of continuous sign language segmentation, a key task with huge implications for sign language translation and data annotation. We propose a transformer-based architecture that models the temporal dynamics of…
Millions of hearing impaired people around the world routinely use some variants of sign languages to communicate, thus the automatic translation of a sign language is meaningful and important. Currently, there are two sub-problems in Sign…
This work dedicates to continuous sign language recognition (CSLR), which is a weakly supervised task dealing with the recognition of continuous signs from videos, without any prior knowledge about the temporal boundaries between…
The goal of this work is to recognise and localise short temporal signals in image time series, where strong supervision is not available for training. To this end we propose an image encoding that concisely represents human motion in a…
Prior work on Sign Language Translation has shown that having a mid-level sign gloss representation (effectively recognizing the individual signs) improves the translation performance drastically. In fact, the current state-of-the-art in…
In this paper, we focus on the task of one-shot sign spotting, i.e. given an example of an isolated sign (query), we want to identify whether/where this sign appears in a continuous, co-articulated sign language video (target). To achieve…
Sign language transition generation seeks to convert discrete sign language segments into continuous sign videos by synthesizing smooth transitions. However,most existing methods merely concatenate isolated signs, resulting in poor visual…
Human body trajectories are a salient cue to identify actions in the video. Such body trajectories are mainly conveyed by hands and face across consecutive frames in sign language. However, current methods in continuous sign language…
Significant progress has been made recently on challenging tasks in automatic sign language understanding, such as sign language recognition, translation and production. However, these works have focused on datasets with relatively few…
This work presents an approach for recognizing isolated sign language gestures using skeleton-based pose data extracted from video sequences. A Graph-GRU temporal network is proposed to model both spatial and temporal dependencies between…
Sign language is a beautiful visual language and is also the primary language used by speaking and hearing-impaired people. However, sign language has many complex expressions, which are difficult for the public to understand and master.…
This paper employs a multimodal approach for continuous sign recognition by first using ML for detecting the start and end frames of signs in videos of American Sign Language (ASL) sentences, and then by recognizing the segmented signs. For…
Sign language translation (SLT) aims to interpret sign video sequences into text-based natural language sentences. Sign videos consist of continuous sequences of sign gestures with no clear boundaries in between. Existing SLT models usually…
