A Simple Multi-Modality Transfer Learning Baseline for Sign Language Translation

FangyunWei/SLRT CVPR 2022

Concretely, we pretrain the sign-to-gloss visual network on the general domain of human actions and the within-domain of a sign-to-gloss dataset, and pretrain the gloss-to-text translation network on the general domain of a multilingual corpus and the within-domain of a gloss-to-text corpus.

Word-level Deep Sign Language Recognition from Video: A New Large-scale Dataset and Methods Comparison

dxli94/WLASL 24 Oct 2019

Based on this new large-scale dataset, we are able to experiment with several deep learning methods for word-level sign recognition and evaluate their performances in large scale scenarios.

Sign Language Transformers: Joint End-to-end Sign Language Recognition and Translation

neccam/slt CVPR 2020

We report state-of-the-art sign language recognition and translation results achieved by our Sign Language Transformers.

TSPNet: Hierarchical Feature Learning via Temporal Semantic Pyramid for Sign Language Translation

verashira/TSPNet NeurIPS 2020

Sign language translation (SLT) aims to interpret sign video sequences into text-based natural language sentences.

An Open-Source Gloss-Based Baseline for Spoken to Signed Language Translation

zurichnlp/spoken-to-signed-translation 28 May 2023

Sign language translation systems are complex and require many components.

SignBank+: Preparing a Multilingual Sign Language Dataset for Machine Translation Using Large Language Models

sign-language-processing/signbank-plus 20 Sep 2023

We introduce SignBank+, a clean version of the SignBank dataset, optimized for machine translation between spoken language text and SignWriting, a phonetic sign language writing system.

Neural Sign Language Translation

neccam/nslt CVPR 2018

SLR seeks to recognize a sequence of continuous signs but neglects the underlying rich grammatical and linguistic structures of sign language that differ from spoken language.

Better Sign Language Translation with STMC-Transformer

kayoyin/transformer-slt COLING 2020

This contradicts previous claims that GT gloss translation acts as an upper bound for SLT performance and reveals that glosses are an inefficient representation of sign language.

ASL Recognition with Metric-Learning based Lightweight Network

openvinotoolkit/training_extensions arXiv.org 2020

In the past decades the set of human tasks that are solved by machines was extended dramatically.

How2Sign: A Large-scale Multimodal Dataset for Continuous American Sign Language

how2sign/how2sign.github.io CVPR 2021

Towards this end, we introduce How2Sign, a multimodal and multiview continuous American Sign Language (ASL) dataset, consisting of a parallel corpus of more than 80 hours of sign language videos and a set of corresponding modalities including speech, English transcripts, and depth.
