BackTranslation2.0 -- A Linguistically Motivated Metric to Assess Sign Language Production
Oliver Cory, Maksym Ivashechkin, Karahan Sahin +6
Sign Languages (SLs) are the primary means of communication for millions of deaf individuals, yet existing evaluation metrics for generated SL remain simplistic and poorly aligned…
SignSparK: Efficient Multilingual Sign Language Production via Sparse Keyframe Learning
Jianhe Low, Alexandre Symeonidis-Herzig, Maksym Ivashechkin +2
Sign Language Production (SLP) faces a fundamental trade-off: direct text-to-pose models suffer from regression-to-the-mean effects, while dictionary-retrieval methods produce disj…
What's the Point? Spatial Grammar & Index Resolution for Sign Language Processing
Oline Ranum, Simon Hadfield, Richard Bowden
Sign language models are predominantly trained with gloss-sequence or text supervision, thereby under-modeling non-lexical and productive constructions. One comparatively tractable…
M3T: Discrete Multi-Modal Motion Tokens for Sign Language Production
Alexandre Symeonidis-Herzig, Jianhe Low, Ozge Mercanoglu Sincan +1
Sign language production requires more than hand motion generation. Non-manual features, including mouthings, eyebrow raises, gaze, and head movements, are grammatically obligatory…
SignAgent: Agentic LLMs for Linguistically-Grounded Sign Language Annotation and Dataset Curation
Oliver Cory, Ozge Mercanoglu Sincan, Richard Bowden
This paper introduces SignAgent, a novel agentic framework that utilises Large Language Models (LLMs) for scalable, linguistically-grounded Sign Language (SL) annotation and datase…
SLRTP2025 Sign Language Production Challenge: Methodology, Results, and Future Work
Harry Walsh, Ed Fish, Ozge Mercanoglu Sincan +19
Sign Language Production (SLP) is the task of generating sign language video from spoken language inputs. The field has seen a range of innovations over the last few years, with th…
