Automatic Generation of German Sign Language Glosses from German Words
نویسندگان
چکیده
In our paper we present a method for the automatic generation of single German Sign Language glosses from German words. Glosses are often used as a textual description of signs when transcribing Sign Language video data. For a machine translation system from German to German Sign Language we apply glosses as an intermediate notational system. Then the automatic generation from given German words is presented. This novel approach takes the orthographic similarities between glosses and written words into account. The obtained experimental results show the feasibility of our methods for word classes like adverbs, adjectives and verbs with up to 80% correctly generated glosses.

This study was a qualitative exploration of the effect of multiple-choice glosses and periodic second language (L2) text reconstruction on lexical acquisition. L2 readers of German engaged in a think-aloud procedure while reading a short text and retelling its content in German after each of four short sections. In each section, four unfamiliar target words (TWs) were embedded. Half of the part...

We present a novel approach for the automatic translation of written text into sign language. A new corpus focussing on the weather report domain for the language pair German and German Sign Language is introduced. We apply phrase-based statistical machine translation, enhanced by preand post-processing steps based on the morpho-syntactical analysis of German. Detailed results are given based o...
متن کاملAutomatic detection of anglicisms for the pronunciation dictionary generation: a case study on our German IT corpus
With the globalization more and more words from other languages come into a language without assimilation to the phonetic system of the new language. To economically build up lexical resources with automatic or semi-automatic methods, it is important to detect and treat them separately. Due to the strong increase of Anglicisms, especially from the IT domain, we developed features for their auto...
