Corpus Augmentation for Sign Language Translation via LLM-Guided Video Stitching

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.

Target-Side Paraphrase Augmentation for Sign Language Translation with Large Language Models

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.

Bridging the Gap Between Semantics and Reconstruction:Unifying Sign Language Translation and Production

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.

Fine-grained CLIP fine-tuning with self-annotated region alignment

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.

ViPo-MLLM: Visual-Pose Multimodal LLM for Gloss-Free Sign Language Translation

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.
