ReSCUE: Re-translation with Sentence Commitment for Unsegmented Long-Form Simultaneous Sign Language Translation

Read the original on arXiv Computation and Language →

ReSCUE is a unified framework for simultaneous sign language translation on unsegmented long‑form videos, aligning training and inference with realistic streaming conditions. It incorporates inference‑aware training to manage partial inputs, non‑signing pauses, and multi‑sentence contexts; stabilized re‑translation for low‑latency, revisable predictions with reduced output flicker; and a sentence commitment mechanism for online segmentation and memory management. Experiments show ReSCUE achieves lower latency and superior translation quality in low‑latency settings, approaching oracle offline systems on long‑form datasets while operating at substantially lower latency.

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.

Seeing Semantic Shift: Difference-Aware Sentence-Level Temporal Segmentation of Sign Language Videos

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.

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.

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.
