Automatic Sign Language Translation (SLT) systems can be a great asset to improve the communication with and within deaf communities. Currently, main issue preventing effective translation models lays in low availability of labelled data, which hinders use modern deep learning models.
 SLT is complex problem that involves many subtasks, handshape recognition most important. We compare seri...

Lipid standards were purchased from Avanti Polar Lipids, Inc., and Matreya LLC and a list is included in the supplementary information section. A final concentration of 1 µM was desired for the LC-IMS-MS studies. The standards were diluted with chloroform to reach the desired concentration. River Laboratory (Raleigh, NC). Females were mated with fertile males of the same strain to induce pregna...

In this note, we study the quality of system identification models obtained using the standard quadratic prediction error criterion for a general linear model class. The main feature of our results is that they hold true for a finite data sample and they are not asymptotic. The main theorems bound the difference between the expected value of the identification criterion evaluated at the estimat...
