SignRR is a new sign language production framework that combines retrieval of real sign motion segments with a learned refinement step to produce globally coherent signing sequences. It starts from a dictionary of authentic sign segments and refines them using a part-aware Residual VQ‑VAE, preserving fine hand articulation while handling temporal length differences in latent space. Experiments on PHOENIX14T and CSL‑Daily demonstrate state‑of‑the‑art back‑translation performance and competitive pose quality.

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.

M3T introduces a discrete multi‑modal motion token system for sign language production, addressing the need for non‑manual features such as mouthings, eyebrow raises, gaze, and head movements. The approach couples FLAME’s expressive facial space with SMPL‑X body parameters and uses modality‑specific Finite Scalar Quantization VAEs to achieve high face codebook utilization (99.0%). Trained with an autoregressive transformer and a sign‑to‑text translation objective, M3T outperforms existing methods on three standard datasets, notably improving accuracy on NMFs‑CSL from 49.0% to 58.3% without large‑scale pre‑training.
