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.
Exploring German Multi-Level Text Simplification
We report on experiments in automatic text simplification (ATS) for German with multiple simplification levels along the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR), simplifying standard German into levels A1, A2 and B1.
A Multilingual Simplified Language News Corpus
Simplified language news articles are being offered by specialized web portals in several countries.
Benchmarking Automated Review Response Generation for the Hospitality Domain
Online customer reviews are of growing importance for many businesses in the hospitality industry, particularly restaurants and hotels.
A New Dataset and Efficient Baselines for Document-level Text Simplification in German
The task of document-level text simplification is very similar to summarization with the additional difficulty of reducing complexity.
SwissADT: An Audio Description Translation System for Swiss Languages
Audio description (AD) is a crucial accessibility service provided to blind persons and persons with visual impairment, designed to convey visual information in acoustic form.
Audio Description Generation in the Era of LLMs and VLMs: A Review of Transferable Generative AI Technologies
Audio descriptions (ADs) function as acoustic commentaries designed to assist blind persons and persons with visual impairments in accessing digital media content on television and in movies, among other settings.
Modelling the Distribution of Human Motion for Sign Language Assessment
Sign Language Assessment (SLA) tools are useful to aid in language learning and are underdeveloped.
SignCLIP: Connecting Text and Sign Language by Contrastive Learning
We present SignCLIP, which re-purposes CLIP (Contrastive Language-Image Pretraining) to project spoken language text and sign language videos, two classes of natural languages of distinct modalities, into the same space.
Digital Comprehensibility Assessment of Simplified Texts among Persons with Intellectual Disabilities
For the target group of persons with intellectual disabilities, comprehension questions emerged as the most reliable measure, while analyzing reading speed provided valuable insights into participants' reading behavior.
Linguistically Motivated Sign Language Segmentation
We find that introducing BIO tagging is necessary to model sign boundaries.
An Open-Source Gloss-Based Baseline for Spoken to Signed Language Translation
Sign language translation systems are complex and require many components.
Considerations for meaningful sign language machine translation based on glosses
Automatic sign language processing is gaining popularity in Natural Language Processing (NLP) research (Yin et al., 2021).
Machine Translation between Spoken Languages and Signed Languages Represented in SignWriting
This paper presents work on novel machine translation (MT) systems between spoken and signed languages, where signed languages are represented in SignWriting, a sign language writing system.
Evaluating the Immediate Applicability of Pose Estimation for Sign Language Recognition
Basically, skeletal representations generalize over an individual's appearance and background, allowing us to focus on the recognition of motion.
Real-Time Sign Language Detection using Human Pose Estimation
We propose a lightweight real-time sign language detection model, as we identify the need for such a case in videoconferencing.
Benchmarking Data-driven Automatic Text Simplification for German
Automatic text simplification is an active research area, and there are first systems for English, Spanish, Portuguese, and Italian.
A Corpus for Automatic Readability Assessment and Text Simplification of German
In this paper, we present a corpus for use in automatic readability assessment and automatic text simplification of German.
Helping Domain Experts Build Speech Translation Systems
We present a new platform, "Regulus Lite", which supports rapid development and web deployment of several types of phrasal speech translation systems using a minimal formalism.
