Sign Language Corpora for Analysis, Processing and Evaluation
نویسندگان
چکیده
Sign Languages (SLs) are the visuo-gestural languages practised by the deaf communities. Research on SLs requires to build, to analyse and to use corpora. The aim of this paper is to present various kinds of new uses of SL corpora. The way data are used take advantage of the new capabilities of annotation software for visualisation, numerical annotation, and processing. The nature of the data can be video-based or motion capture-based. The aims of the studies include language analysis, animation processing, and evaluation. We describe here some LIMSI’s studies, and some studies from other laboratories as examples.

A Reflection on Kristeva's Approach to the Structure of Language
Reaching out to history and subject in terms of meaning variation, Kristeva could show that language cannot simply be a Saussurean sign system. Rather, she went on to delineate that language, beyond signs, is associated with a dynamic system of signification where the ''speaking subject'' is constantly involved in processing. Julia Kristeva, a French critic, psychoanalyst, theoretician, a post-...
متن کاملToward Categorization of Sign Language Corpora
This paper addresses the notion of parallel, noisy parallel and comparable corpora in the sign language research field. As it is quite a new field, the categorization of sign language corpora is not well established, and does not rely on a straightforward basis. Nevertheless, several kinds of corpora are now available and could raise interesting issues, provided that adapted tools and technique...

متن کاملSLMotion - An extensible sign language oriented video analysis tool
We present a software toolkit called SLMotion which provides a framework for automatic and semiautomatic analysis, feature extraction and annotation of individual sign language videos, and which can easily be adapted to batch processing of entire sign language corpora. The program follows a modular design, and exposes a Numpy-compatible Python application programming interface that makes it eas...
متن کاملSemi-Automatic Sign Language Corpora Annotation using Lexical Representations of Signs
Nowadays many researches focus on the automatic recognition of sign language. High recognition rates are achieved using lot of training data. This data is, generally, collected by manual annotating SL video corpus. However this is time consuming and the results depend on the annotators knowledge. In this work we intend to assist the annotation in terms of glosses which consist on writing down t...
