Semi-Automatic Sign Language Corpora Annotation using Lexical Representations of Signs
Signs are described using Zeebede (ZBD) which is a descriptor of signs that considers the high variability of signs.
Description de la juxtaposition en Langue des Signes Fran\ccaise \`a partir d'une grammaire r\'ecursive (The present communication tackles formal grammar developpement of French Sign Language (LSF))
G{\'e}n{\'e}rer automatiquement des {\'e}nonc{\'e}s en LSF implique la d{\'e}finition de certaines r{\`e}gles de production pour synchroniser les diff{\'e}rents articulateurs du corps, signes, mouvements, etc.
Synthesising Sign Language from semantics, approaching "from the target and back"
We present a Sign Language modelling approach allowing to build grammars and create linguistic input for Sign synthesis through avatars.
A human-editable Sign Language representation for software editing---and a writing system?
To equip SL with software properly, we need an input system to represent and manipulate signed contents in the same way that every day software allows to process written text.
Elicitation and Corpus of Spontaneous Sign Language Discourse Representation Diagrams
The main contribution of this paper is the specification of the elicitation protocol, explaining the variables that are likely to affect the diagrams collected.
The Synthesis of Complex Shape Deployments in Sign Language
Proform constructs such as classifier predicates and size and shape specifiers are essential elements of Sign Language communication, but have remained a challenge for synthesis due to their highly variable nature.
Use Cases for a Sign Language Concordancer
As we aim to provide them with such software, we explore the possibilities offered by a first tool: a Sign Language concordancer.
Alignment Data base for a Sign Language Concordancer
This article deals with elaborating a data base of alignments of parallel Franch-LSF segments.
Example-Based Machine Translation from Text to a Hierarchical Representation of Sign Language
This article presents an original method for Text-to-Sign Translation.
Représentation graphique de la langue des signes française et édition logicielle
Cet article propose une m\'ethode pour d\'efinir une forme graphique \'editable standardis\'ee pour les langues des signes, ainsi qu'une proposition "AZVD" et un \'editeur logiciel associ\'e.
Rosetta-LSF: an Aligned Corpus of French Sign Language and French for Text-to-Sign Translation
These are: news headlines in French, translations of these headlines into LSF in the form of videos showing animations of a virtual signer, gloss annotations of the “traditional” type—although including additional information on the context in which each gestural unit is performed as well as their potential for adaptation to another context—and AZee representations of the videos, i. e. formal expressions capturing the necessary and sufficient linguistic information.
Multi-track Bottom-Up Synthesis from Non-Flattened AZee Scores
We present an algorithm to improve the pre-existing bottom-up animation system for AZee descriptions to synthesize sign language utterances.
The Myth of Signing Avatars
Development of automatic translation between signed and spoken languages has lagged behind the development of automatic translation between spoken languages, but it is a common misperception that extending machine translation techniques to include signed languages should be a straightforward process.
A First Corpus of AZee Discourse Expressions
We wrote the corresponding AZee discourse expressions for the entire video content, i. e. expressions capturing the forms produced by the signers and their associated meaning by combining known production rules, a basic building block for these expressions.
Representation and Synthesis of Geometric Relocations
One of the key features of signed discourse is the geometric placements of gestural units in signing space.
Two New AZee Production Rules Refining Multiplicity in French Sign Language
AZee is a linguistic and formal approach to modeling LSF.
