Sign language, as a different form of the communication language, is important to large
groups of people in society. There are different signs in each sign language with variability …

Abstract Sign Languages (SLs) are employed by deaf and hard-of-hearing (DHH) people to
communicate on a daily basis. However, the communication with hearing people still faces …

Human body trajectories are a salient cue to identify actions in video. Such body trajectories
are mainly conveyed by hands and face across consecutive frames in sign language …

The predominant means of communication is speech; however, there are persons whose
speaking or hearing abilities are impaired. Communication presents a significant barrier for …

Sign languages are visual languages which convey information by signers' handshape,
facial expression, body movement, and so forth. Due to the inherent restriction of …

The backbone of most deep-learning-based continuous sign language recognition (CSLR)
models consists of a visual module, a sequential module, and an alignment module …

In this paper we present a system for word-level sign language recognition based on the
Transformer model. We aim at a solution with low computational cost, since we see great …

Hand and face play an important role in expressing sign language. Their features are
usually especially leveraged to improve system performance. However, to effectively extract …

People with hearing impairments are found worldwide; therefore, the development of
effective local level sign language recognition (SLR) tools is essential. We conducted a …

AI technologies can play an important role in breaking down the communication barriers of
deaf or hearing-impaired people with other communities, contributing significantly to their …
