British Sign Language Recognition via Late Fusion of Computer Vision and Leap Motion with Transfer Learning to American Sign Language

open access: yesItalian National Conference on Sensors, 2020
In this work, we show that a late fusion approach to multimodality in sign language recognition improves the overall ability of the model in comparison to the singular approaches of image classification (88.14%) and Leap Motion data classification (72.73%

"Expectation" [PDF]

open access: yes, 2000
Previously in Futures, I discussed a word that we use to form an abstract futures concept: “millennium” [1]. In its most common current usage, “millennium” is an example of a word that provides, and one might even say controls, a future orientation for ...

Hand Gesture Recognition of Static Letters American Sign Language (ASL) Using Deep Learning

open access: yesEngineering and Technology Journal, 2020
An American Sign Language (ASL) is a complex language. It is depending on the special gesture stander of marks. These marks are represented by hands with assistance by facial expression and body posture. ASL is the main communication language of deaf and

Enhanced Sign Language Translation Between American Sign Language and Indian Sign Language Using LLMs

open access: yesIEEE Access
This research introduces a foundational framework aimed at bridging the communication gap between American Sign Language (ASL) and Indian Sign Language (ISL) by translating alphabet-level gestures. The proposed system employs a hybrid deep learning model

A Lexical Frequency Analysis of Irish Sign Language

open access: yesTeanga: The Journal of the Irish Association for Applied Linguistics, 2020
Word frequency has a significant impact on language acquisition and fluency. It is often a point of reference for the teaching and assessing of a language and indeed, as a control for psycholinguistic studies. This paper presents the results of the first

The Structure and Geography of the ASL Signing Community in the Mid-Nineteenth Century: The Hartford Gatherings of 1850 and 1854

open access: yesCadernos de Linguística
In the early decades of the 19th century, the deaf population in the eastern US and Canada was distributed across a vast area. After the 1817 founding of the American School for the Deaf (ASD) in Hartford, CT and the subsequent establishment of schools ...

Hand Gesture Recognition in Indian Sign Language Using Deep Learning

open access: yesEngineering Proceedings, 2023
Sign languages are important for the deaf and hard-of-hearing communities, as they provide a means of communication and expression. However, many people outside of the deaf community are not familiar with sign languages, which can lead to communication ...

Sign lowering and phonetic reduction in American Sign Language [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Phonetics, 2010
This study examines sign lowering as a form of phonetic reduction in American Sign Language. Phonetic reduction occurs in the course of normal language production, when instead of producing a carefully articulated form of a word, the language user produces a less clearly articulated form. When signs are produced in context by native signers, they often
