Analysis of Facial Expressions in American Sign Language
In the age of speech and voice recognition technologies, sign language recognition is an essential part of ensuring equal access for deaf people. To date, sign language recognition research has mostly ignored facial expressions that arise as part of a natural sign language discourse, even though they carry important grammatical and prosodic information. One reason is that tracking the motion an...
متن کاملPlanning Natural Language Referring Expressions
This paper describes how a language-planning system can produce natural-language referring expressions that satisfy multiple goals. It describes a formal representation for reasoning about several agents' mutual knowledge using possible-worlds semantics and the general organization of a system that uses the formalism to reason about plans combining physical and linguistic actions at different l...
متن کاملVideo Object Segmentation with Language Referring Expressions
Most state-of-the-art semi-supervised video object segmentation methods rely on a pixel-accurate mask of a target object provided for the first frame of a video. However, obtaining a detailed segmentation mask is expensive and time-consuming. In this work we explore an alternative way of identifying a target object, namely by employing language referring expressions. Besides being a more practi...
متن کاملFrom Gesture to Sign Language: Conventionalization of Classifier Constructions by Adult Hearing Learners of British Sign Language
There has long been interest in why languages are shaped the way they are, and in the relationship between sign language and gesture. In sign languages, entity classifiers are handshapes that encode how objects move, how they are located relative to one another, and how multiple objects of the same type are distributed in space. Previous studies have shown that hearing adults who are asked to u...
متن کاملOSU-2: Generating Referring Expressions with a Maximum Entropy Classifier
Selection of natural-sounding referring expressions is useful in text generation and information summarization (Kan et al., 2001). We use discourse-level feature predicates in a maximum entropy classifier (Berger et al., 1996) with binary and n-class classification to select referring expressions from a list. We find that while mention-type n-class classification produces higher accuracy of typ...
