Learnt Contrastive Concept Embeddings for Sign Recognition

Ryan Wong, Necati Cihan Camgoz, Richard Bowden

In natural language processing (NLP) of spoken languages, word embeddings have been shown to be a useful method to encode the meaning of words. Sign languages are visual languages,…

Looking for the Signs: Identifying Isolated Sign Instances in Continuous Video Footage

Tao Jiang, Necati Cihan Camgoz, Richard Bowden

In this paper, we focus on the task of one-shot sign spotting, i.e. given an example of an isolated sign (query), we want to identify whether/where this sign appears in a continuou…

Mixed SIGNals: Sign Language Production via a Mixture of Motion Primitives

Ben Saunders, Necati Cihan Camgoz, Richard Bowden

It is common practice to represent spoken languages at their phonetic level. However, for sign languages, this implies breaking motion into its constituent motion primitives. Avata…
