Natural Language-Assisted Sign Language Recognition [PDF]
Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition, 2023 Sign languages are visual languages which convey in-formation by signers' handshape, facial expression, body movement, and so forth. Due to the inherent restriction of combinations of these visual ingredients, there exist a significant number of visually
