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.

The paper introduces SignShift, a framework for visual-only sentence-level segmentation of continuous sign language videos. It uses a Temporal Difference Module that captures frame-to-frame feature variations across full-frame, facial, and hand cues, and a Segment Count Prediction module to guide boundary selection. Experiments on benchmark datasets show that SignShift outperforms existing methods, demonstrating its effectiveness for this challenging task.

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: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.
