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.

RAIDAL is an active learning framework for continuous sign language recognition that leverages the CTC decoder’s alignment peaks to focus sample selection on gloss‑aligned regions, thereby avoiding temporal redundancy in weakly aligned videos. By restricting representation‑based scoring to these decoder‑aligned gloss areas, RAIDAL improves data efficiency across multiple datasets and architectures, especially in large‑vocabulary, budget‑limited scenarios. The method requires no extra labeling cost and its implementation is publicly available on GitHub.

UVU is a vision-language unified autoregressive framework that integrates visual supervision directly into the pre-training stage of multimodal large language models. By using continuous visual encoding and a large-scale iterative hierarchical clustering algorithm to build a pixel-level visual codebook, UVU enables lossless representation of visual inputs and autoregressive generation of pixel-level image tokens alongside textual tokens. This approach synergizes pixel-level visual perception with semantic-level visual understanding, allowing models to internalize visual reconstruction capabilities and improve multimodal understanding performance.

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.
