ASL-Skeleton3D and ASL-Phono: Two Novel Datasets for the American Sign Language [PDF]

The paper is under consideration at Pattern Recognition Letters (2022) (under the manuscript number PRLETTERS-D-22-00140), 2022
Sign language is an essential resource enabling access to communication and proper socioemotional development for individuals suffering from disabling hearing loss. As this population is expected to reach 700 million by 2050, the importance of the language becomes even more essential as it plays a critical role to ensure the inclusion of such ...

Scaling‐Up of Structural Superlubricity: Challenges and Opportunities

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
At increasing length‐scales, structural superlubricity (SSL) faces challenges from physical and chemical energy dissipation pathways. This study reviews recent experimental and theoretical progress on these challenges facing the scaling‐up of SSL, as well as perspectives on future directions for realizing and manipulating macroscale superlubricity ...

Improving Sign Recognition with Phonology [PDF]

arXiv, 2023
We use insights from research on American Sign Language (ASL) phonology to train models for isolated sign language recognition (ISLR), a step towards automatic sign language understanding. Our key insight is to explicitly recognize the role of phonology in sign production to achieve more accurate ISLR than existing work which does not consider sign ...

Computational Modeling of Reticular Materials: The Past, the Present, and the Future

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Reticular materials are advanced materials with applications in emerging technologies. A thorough understanding of material properties at operating conditions is critical to accelerate the deployment at an industrial scale. Herein, the status of computational modeling of reticular materials is reviewed, supplemented with topical examples highlighting ...

An Adequate Model for the Development of English Reading Skills [PDF]

Human Research in Rehabilitation
The focus of this article is on the development of adequate English reading skills. To delineate necessary components for a phonemic-based language, it is necessary to compare two broad frameworks--the Qualitative Similarity Hypothesis (QSH) and the ...

Statistical Sign Language Machine Translation: from English written text to American Sign Language Gloss [PDF]

IJCSI International Journal of Computer Science Issues, Vol. 8, Issue 5, No 3, 2011, 65-73, 2011
This works aims to design a statistical machine translation from English text to American Sign Language (ASL). The system is based on Moses tool with some modifications and the results are synthesized through a 3D avatar for interpretation. First, we translate the input text to gloss, a written form of ASL.

Effects of language experience on the perception of American Sign Language [PDF]

Cognition, 2008
Perception of American Sign Language (ASL) handshape and place of articulation parameters was investigated in three groups of signers: deaf native signers, deaf non-native signers who acquired ASL between the ages of 10 and 18, and hearing non-native signers who acquired ASL as a second language between the ages of 10 and 26. Participants were asked to

Recent Advances in Wide‐Bandgap Perovskite Solar Cells

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Ubiquitous defects predominately account for photo‐instability and open‐circuit voltage losses in wide‐bandgap perovskite solar cells (WBG PSCs). This review comprehensively presents the underlying impact mechanisms, summarizes the advanced optimization strategies across various functional layers and their interfaces to develop efficient and stable WBG
