SignLlama: Enhancing Gloss-free Sign Language Translation by Prioritizing Visual Features for LLMs
arXiv:2608. 09006v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Large Language Models (LLMs) have achieved remarkable success across a wide range of tasks.
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: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: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:2603. 29219v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Sign language is the primary approach of communication for the Deaf and Hard-of-Hearing (DHH) community.
arXiv:2608. 06407v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Automated Sign Language Recognition for under-represented languages remains a largely unsolved problem.
arXiv:2606. 28551v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Building performant Vision-Language Models (VLMs) requires carefully curating large-scale training datasets, yet the community lacks systematic benchmarks for evaluating such curation strategies.
arXiv:2506. 10915v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Text-to-video generation has significantly enriched content creation and holds the potential to evolve into powerful world simulators.
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.
Contrastive Language-Image Pre-training (CLIP) has been shown to have limitations in its fine-grained dense feature representation, due to its pre-training focusing on matching the whole image to a text description. Considering the large data and computational burden in pre-training a vision-language model from scratch, a series of works aim to enhance the fine-grained ability of CLIP through a fine-tuning scheme.
arXiv:2607. 13164v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Sign language is a primary communication channel for millions of Deaf and hard-of-hearing people, yet text-to-signer video generation remains costly because video diffusion models are expensive to train and evaluate.
arXiv:2606. 29531v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We propose MotionAtlas, a system for detailed captioning of motion-centric videos, comprising (1) a dedicated human-annotated benchmark, (2) a scalable, high-quality pipeline to construct training samples, and (3) a family of powerful Video-MLLMs.
