The American Sign Language Knowledge Graph: Infusing ASL Models with Linguistic Knowledge
Findings of the Association for Computational Linguistics: NAACL 2025Language models for American Sign Language (ASL) could make language technologies substantially more accessible to those who sign. To train models on tasks such as isolated sign recognition (ISR) and ASL-to-English translation, datasets provide annotated video examples of ASL signs. To facilitate the generalizability and explainability of these models,
