SLTUNET: A Simple Unified Model for Sign Language Translation

bzhangGo/sltunet International Conference on Learning Representations (ICLR) 2023

We propose SLTUNET, a simple unified neural model designed to support multiple SLTrelated tasks jointly, such as sign-to-gloss, gloss-to-text and sign-to-text translation.

Cross-modality Data Augmentation for End-to-End Sign Language Translation

atrewin/signxmda 18 May 2023

It has been a challenging task due to the modality gap between sign videos and texts and the data scarcity of labeled data.

Gloss-Free End-to-End Sign Language Translation

henrylittle/glofe 22 May 2023

In this paper, we tackle the problem of sign language translation (SLT) without gloss annotations.

An Open-Source Gloss-Based Baseline for Spoken to Signed Language Translation

zurichnlp/spoken-to-signed-translation 28 May 2023

Sign language translation systems are complex and require many components.

ISLTranslate: Dataset for Translating Indian Sign Language

exploration-lab/isltranslate 11 Jul 2023

To the best of our knowledge, it is the largest translation dataset for continuous Indian Sign Language.

Gloss Attention for Gloss-free Sign Language Translation

yinaoxiong/gaslt CVPR 2023

We find that it can provide two aspects of information for the model, 1) it can help the model implicitly learn the location of semantic boundaries in continuous sign language videos, 2) it can help the model understand the sign language video globally.

Gloss-free Sign Language Translation: Improving from Visual-Language Pretraining

zhoubenjia/gfslt-vlp ICCV 2023

Many previous methods employ an intermediate representation, i. e., gloss sequences, to facilitate SLT, thus transforming it into a two-stage task of sign language recognition (SLR) followed by sign language translation (SLT).

SignBank+: Preparing a Multilingual Sign Language Dataset for Machine Translation Using Large Language Models

sign-language-processing/signbank-plus 20 Sep 2023

We introduce SignBank+, a clean version of the SignBank dataset, optimized for machine translation between spoken language text and SignWriting, a phonetic sign language writing system.

JWSign: A Highly Multilingual Corpus of Bible Translations for more Diversity in Sign Language Processing

shesterg/jwsign-machine-translation 16 Nov 2023

Advancements in sign language processing have been hindered by a lack of sufficient data, impeding progress in recognition, translation, and production tasks.

Fingerspelling PoseNet: Enhancing Fingerspelling Translation with Pose-Based Transformer Models

pooyafayyaz/fingerspelling-posenet 20 Nov 2023

We also propose a novel two-stage inference approach that re-ranks the hypotheses using the language model capabilities of the decoder.
