Statistical Sign Language Translation

چکیده
Abstract In the field of machine translation, significant progress has been made by using statistical methods. In this paper we suggest a statistical machine translation system for Sign Language and written language, especially for the language pair German Sign Language (DGS) and German. After introducing the system’s architecture, statistical machine translation in general and notation systems for Sign Language, the corpus processing is scetched. Finally, preliminary translation results are presented.

Morpho-Syntax Based Statistical Methods for Automatic Sign Language Translation
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 کاملDealing with Sign Language Morphemes in Statistical Machine Translation
The aim of this research is to establish the role of linguistic information in data-scarce statistical machine translation for sign languages using freely available tools. The main challenge in statistical machine translation is the scarcity of suitable data, and this problem becomes more pronounced in sign languages. The available corpora are small, usually not domain-specific, and their annot...
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 کاملThe ATIS Sign Language Corpus
Systems that automatically process sign language rely on appropriate data. We therefore present the ATIS sign language corpus that is based on the domain of air travel information. It is available for five languages, English, German, Irish sign language, German sign language and South African sign language. The corpus can be used for different tasks like automatic statistical translation and au...
متن کاملCombining Data-Driven MT Systems for Improved Sign Language Translation
In this paper, we investigate the feasibility of combining two data-driven machine translation (MT) systems for the translation of sign languages (SLs). We take the MT systems of two prominent data-driven research groups, the MaTrEx system developed at DCU and the Statistical Machine Translation (SMT) system developed at RWTH Aachen University, and apply their respective approaches to the task ...
