arXiv:2606. 11925v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Sign language translation (SLT) converts sign language video into spoken language text and holds significant promise for improving accessibility and enabling communication between signing and non-signing communities.

arXiv:2605. 01720v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Existing large-scale sign language resources typically provide supervision only at the level of raw video-text alignment and are often produced in laboratory settings.

arXiv:2608. 06407v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Automated Sign Language Recognition for under-represented languages remains a largely unsolved problem.

arXiv:2608. 09045v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Recent advances in sign language (SL) research have shown a trend toward unifying multiple sign language understanding (SLU) subtasks, such as isolated sign language recognition (ISLR), continuous sign language recognition (CSLR), and sign language translation (SLT), within a single framework, leading to substantial progress.

arXiv:2204. 02803v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Sign language recognition from monocular video or 2D pose sequences is challenging, both because 3D information must be inferred from 2D observations and because the signal is inherently spatiotemporal.

arXiv:2607. 03657v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Gloss-free Sign Language Translation (SLT) translates sign language videos into spoken-language sentences without gloss annotations, avoiding costly labeling but requiring fine-grained modeling of hands, body, and facial cues.

arXiv:2608. 09006v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Large Language Models (LLMs) have achieved remarkable success across a wide range of tasks.

arXiv:2605. 31393v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Sign language translation (SLT) remains constrained by the limited availability of paired sign-video/text corpora and by the heavy-tailed vocabularies typical of real-world datasets.

arXiv:2608. 16804v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Sign language serves as a vital means of communication for individuals with hearing impairments, yet recognition resources for the over 100 distinct sign languages are severely lacking.

This paper addresses the challenges of using sign language within shared mobility services, such as taxis, carpools, or ride-sharing platforms. The use of sign language recognition (SLR) in real-world, confined environments, specifically vehicle interiors remains largely unexplored.
arXiv:2605. 05367v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Existing 3D sign language avatar reconstruction methods are developed and evaluated exclusively on Western sign languages, and no 3D parametric annotations exist for any Arabic Sign Language dataset, a gap that blocks the development of avatar-based accessibility applications for the Arab Deaf community.
