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:2605. 01720v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Existing large-scale sign language resources typically provide supervision only at the level of raw video-text alignment and are often produced in laboratory settings.

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.
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.
Accurate monocular 4D hand reconstruction remains challenging. Per-frame discriminative regressors lack temporal context and often produce jittery predictions.
