Evaluation of American Sign Language Generation by Native ASL Signers

ACM Transactions on Accessible Computing, 2008
There are many important factors in the design of evaluation studies for systems that generate animations of American Sign Language (ASL) sentences, and techniques for evaluating natural language generation of written texts are not easily adapted to ASL.

A novel approach to American Sign Language (ASL) phrase verification using reversed signing

2010 IEEE Computer Society Conference on Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition - Workshops, 2010
We propose a novel approach for American Sign Langauge (ASL) phrase verification that combines confidence measures (CM) obtained from aligning forward sign models (the conventional approach) to the input data with the CM's obtained from aligning reversed sign models to the same input.
