Bidirectional American Sign Language to English Translation
In the US alone, there are approximately 900,000 hearingimpaired people whose primary mode of conversation is sign language. For these people, communication with non-signers is a daily struggle, and they are often disadvantaged when it comes to finding a job, accessing health care, etc. There are a few emerging technologies designed to translate sign language to English in real time, but most o...
متن کاملStatistical Sign Language Machine Translation: from English written text to American Sign Language Gloss
This works aims to design a statistical machine translation from English text to American Sign Language (ASL). The system is based on Moses tool with some modifications and the results are synthesized through a 3D avatar for interpretation. First, we translate the input text to gloss, a written form of ASL. Second, we pass the output to the WebSign Plug-in to play the sign. Contributions of thi...
متن کاملA Machine Translation System from English to American Sign Language
Research in computational linguistics, computer graphics and autonomous agents has led to the development of increasingly sophisticated communicative agents over the past few years, bringing new perspective to machine translation research. The engineering of language-based smooth, expressive, natural-looking human gestures can give us useful insights into the design principles that have evolved...
متن کاملLexical organization in deaf children who use British Sign Language: evidence from a semantic fluency task.
We adapted the semantic fluency task into British Sign Language (BSL). In Study 1, we present data from twenty-two deaf signers aged four to fifteen. We show that the same 'cognitive signatures' that characterize this task in spoken languages are also present in deaf children, for example, the semantic clustering of responses. In Study 2, we present data from thirteen deaf children with Specifi...
متن کاملSign lowering and phonetic reduction in American Sign Language
This study examines sign lowering as a form of phonetic reduction in American Sign Language. Phonetic reduction occurs in the course of normal language production, when instead of producing a carefully articulated form of a word, the language user produces a less clearly articulated form. When signs are produced in context by native signers, they often differ from the citation forms of signs. I...
