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. 03657v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Gloss-free Sign Language Translation (SLT) translates sign language videos into spoken-language sentences without gloss annotations, avoiding costly labeling but requiring fine-grained modeling of hands, body, and facial cues.
arXiv:2608. 06407v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Automated Sign Language Recognition for under-represented languages remains a largely unsolved problem.
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.
Continuous sign language recognition (CSLR) is a key technology for accessibility, yet its development remains limited by the high cost of annotating continuous video streams. Active learning offers a...
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.
