The South African Sign Language Machine Translation Project: Issues on Non-manual Sign Generation
We report on the South African Sign Language Machine Translation project, and more specifically on our experience in extending a synchronous tree-adjoining grammar parser approach in order to generate non-manual signs and construct a suitable signing space. We show that post-processing of the target language tree, after transfer rules have been applied, results in a simple and efficient mechani...

Current automatic sign language recognition (ASLR) seldom uses perceptual knowledge about the recognition of sign language. Using such knowledge can improve ASLR because it can give an indication which elements or phases of a sign are important for its meaning.

The most important implication of the research-practice distinction is to identify which clinical activities need review and oversight by research ethics committees.

متن کاملSouth African Sign Language Assistive Translation
We describe a novel approach and practical solution to an interactive sign language machine translation system from English to South African Sign Language. We interface the system with the GNApp application, which is an augmentative and alternative communication front-end, in order to resolve word sense ambiguities. This enhances the correctness of the rule-based translation system. We also arg...
