SMART is a new framework that jointly tackles continuous sign language recognition (CSLR) and spotting by leveraging a multimodal large language model (MLLM) to generate motion descriptions as auxiliary semantic cues. It performs stable video‑text alignment with small batch sizes and introduces a Multi‑Scale Temporal Adapter to capture temporal interactions during transformer encoding. The framework also incorporates CSFormer, a CSLR‑guided spotting module that injects recognition‑derived gloss evidence into a boundary‑aware spotting network, enabling mutual benefit between recognition and spotting tasks.

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.

The paper introduces StyleGANCA, a lightweight neural cellular automata (NCA) based generative adversarial network designed for medical image synthesis. By combining a StyleGAN-inspired mapping network with adaptive style modulation in a multi-scale NCA framework, the model achieves high-quality image generation with far fewer parameters than existing adversarial, variational, diffusion, and NCA baselines. Experiments on BloodMNIST and PathMNIST show competitive FID and KID scores, and the synthetic images preserve class-specific information, effectively supporting downstream multi-class classifier training.
