Arabic Sign Language (ArSL) is an essential communication method for individuals in the Deaf and Hard-of-Hearing community. However, existing recognition systems face significant challenges due to their reliance on single sensor approaches…
Sign language recognition is a challenging gesture sequence recognition problem, characterized by quick and highly coarticulated motion. In this paper we focus on recognition of fingerspelling sequences in American Sign Language (ASL)…
One of the most difficult speech recognition tasks is accurate recognition of human to human communication. Advances in deep learning over the last few years have produced major speech recognition improvements on the representative…
Sign languages, used by around 70 million Deaf individuals globally, are visual languages that convey visual and contextual information. Current methods in vision-based sign language recognition (SLR) and translation (SLT) struggle with…
Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) is traditionally evaluated using Word Error Rate (WER), a metric that is insensitive to meaning. Embedding-based semantic metrics are better correlated with human perception, but decoder-based Large…
Individuals with language disorders often face significant communication challenges due to their limited language processing and comprehension abilities, which also affect their interactions with voice-assisted systems that mostly rely on…
We introduce the problem of zero-shot sign language recognition (ZSSLR), where the goal is to leverage models learned over the seen sign class examples to recognize the instances of unseen signs. To this end, we propose to utilize the…
The proposed model aims to develop a speech recognition technology for hearing, speech, or cognitively disabled people. All the available technology in the field of speech recognition doesn't come with an interface for communication for…
At least 360 million people worldwide have disabling hearing loss that frequently causes difficulties in day-to-day conversations. Hearing aids often fail to offer enough benefits and have low adoption rates. However, people with hearing…
Sign(ed) languages use gestures, such as hand or head movements, for communication. Sign language recognition is an assistive technology for individuals with hearing disability and its goal is to improve such individuals' life quality by…
One of the factors that have hindered progress in the areas of sign language recognition, translation, and production is the absence of large annotated datasets. Towards this end, we introduce How2Sign, a multimodal and multiview continuous…
Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) systems in real-world settings need to handle imperfect audio, often degraded by hardware limitations or environmental noise, while accommodating diverse user groups. In human-robot interaction (HRI),…
It is estimated that around 70 million people worldwide are affected by a speech disorder called stuttering. With recent advances in Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR), voice assistants are increasingly useful in our everyday lives. Many…
Despite the prevalence of severe hearing loss affecting over 430 million people globally, access to sign language interpretation remains critically scarce, particularly in low-resource settings like Nepal. Assistive technologies divide into…
Automatic translation from signed to spoken languages is an interdisciplinary research domain, lying on the intersection of computer vision, machine translation and linguistics. Nevertheless, research in this domain is performed mostly by…
This research paper describes a realtime system for identifying American Sign Language (ASL) movements that employs modern computer vision and machine learning approaches. The suggested method makes use of the Mediapipe library for feature…
Recent advances in tracking sensors and pose estimation software enable smart systems to use trajectories of skeleton joint locations for supervised learning. We study the problem of accurately recognizing sign language words, which is key…
We introduce the Universal Speech Model (USM), a single large model that performs automatic speech recognition (ASR) across 100+ languages. This is achieved by pre-training the encoder of the model on a large unlabeled multilingual dataset…
Sign language is a visual language used by the deaf and dumb community to communicate. However, for most recognition methods based on monocular cameras, the recognition accuracy is low and the robustness is poor. Even if the effect is good…
The field of sign language translation has witnessed significant progress in the translation between sign and spoken languages, but the translation between sign languages remains largely unexplored and out of reach. The latter can help 1.5…
