Meaningful Pose-Based Sign Language Evaluation

Zifan Jiang, Colin Leong, Amit Moryossef +8

We present a comprehensive study on meaningfully evaluating sign language utterances in the form of human skeletal poses. The study covers keypoint distance-based, embedding-based,…

MultimodalHugs: Enabling Sign Language Processing in Hugging Face

Gerard Sant, Zifan Jiang, Carlos Escolano +4

In recent years, sign language processing (SLP) has gained importance in the general field of Natural Language Processing. However, compared to research on spoken languages, SLP re…

Pose-Based Sign Language Appearance Transfer

Amit Moryossef, Gerard Sant, Zifan Jiang

We introduce a method for transferring the signer's appearance in sign language skeletal poses while preserving the sign content. Using estimated poses, we transfer the appearance…

SignCLIP: Connecting Text and Sign Language by Contrastive Learning

Zifan Jiang, Gerard Sant, Amit Moryossef +3

We present SignCLIP, which re-purposes CLIP (Contrastive Language-Image Pretraining) to project spoken language text and sign language videos, two classes of natural languages of d…

Linguistically Motivated Sign Language Segmentation

Amit Moryossef, Zifan Jiang, Mathias Müller +2

Sign language segmentation is a crucial task in sign language processing systems. It enables downstream tasks such as sign recognition, transcription, and machine translation. In t…

Machine Translation between Spoken Languages and Signed Languages Represented in SignWriting

Zifan Jiang, Amit Moryossef, Mathias Müller +1

This paper presents work on novel machine translation (MT) systems between spoken and signed languages, where signed languages are represented in SignWriting, a sign language writi…
