Sign Language Recognition is a computer vision and natural language processing task that involves automatically recognizing and translating sign language gestures into written or spoken language. The goal of sign language recognition is to develop algorithms that can understand and interpret sign language, enabling people who use sign language as their primary mode of communication to communicate more easily with non-signers.

Slovo: Russian Sign Language Dataset
One of the main challenges of the sign language recognition task is the difficulty of collecting a suitable dataset due to the gap between hard-of-hearing and hearing societies.
ADDSL: Hand Gesture Detection and Sign Language Recognition on Annotated Danish Sign Language
Using this dataset, a one-stage ob-ject detector model (YOLOv5) was trained with the CSP-DarkNet53 backbone and YOLOv3 head to recognize letters (A-Z) and numbers (0-9) using only seven unique images per class (without augmen-tation).
Isolated Sign Language Recognition based on Tree Structure Skeleton Images
We evaluated the effectiveness of our model on the Ankara University Turkish Sign Language (TSL) dataset, AUTSL, and a Mexican Sign Language (LSM) dataset.
Natural Language-Assisted Sign Language Recognition
Sign languages are visual languages which convey information by signers' handshape, facial expression, body movement, and so forth.
CVT-SLR: Contrastive Visual-Textual Transformation for Sign Language Recognition with Variational Alignment
In this work, we propose a novel contrastive visual-textual transformation for SLR, CVT-SLR, to fully explore the pretrained knowledge of both the visual and language modalities.
Continuous Sign Language Recognition with Correlation Network
Visualizations demonstrate the effects of CorrNet on emphasizing human body trajectories across adjacent frames.
Fine-tuning of sign language recognition models: a technical report
We also investigated how the additional training of the model in another sign language affects the quality of recognition.
Improving Sign Recognition with Phonology
We use insights from research on American Sign Language (ASL) phonology to train models for isolated sign language recognition (ISLR), a step towards automatic sign language understanding.
