Toward Modeling Sign Language Coarticulation
نویسندگان
چکیده
Our researches focus on Sign Language (SL) gestures, which can be manual or non-manual (like facial expressions). This abstract presents the study we conduct in the field of French SL (LSF) processing. We intend to propose a coarticulation model of signs of LSF, thus we need accurate analysis of both isolated and in utterance signs. We follow a several step methodology: video corpus creation, annotation, statistics computation, and model development.

Virtual Signer Coarticulation in Octopus, a Sign Language Generation Platform
This work is related Sign Language utterance generation and coarticulation. It first lists the important feature to tackle in such systems, and introduce the notion of coarticulation in SL. Then, we describe one of our SL generation platforms, and the way coarticulation is integrated. The current version allows us to evaluate the settings for some coarticulation effects, such as transition and ...
متن کاملAllophone-based acoustic modeling for Persian phoneme recognition
Phoneme recognition is one of the fundamental phases of automatic speech recognition. Coarticulation which refers to the integration of sounds, is one of the important obstacles in phoneme recognition. In other words, each phone is influenced and changed by the characteristics of its neighbor phones, and coarticulation is responsible for most of these changes. The idea of modeling the effects o...
متن کاملA study of implicit and explicit modeling of coarticulation and pronunciation variation
In this paper, we focus on the modeling of coarticulation and pronunciation variation in Automatic Speech Recognition systems (ASR). Most ASR systems explicitly describe these production phenomena through context-dependent phoneme models and multiple pronunciation lexicons. Here, we explore the potential benefit of using feature spaces covering longer time segments in terms of implicit modeling...
متن کاملCoarticulation in fricative-vowel syllables produced by children and adults: a preliminary report.
`Coarticulation’ refers to the fact that speech is produced in a highly contextdependent fashion, while at some level, invariant (phonemic) information can be extracted by listeners. Coarticulation has both language-universal and languageparticular components. The universal properties stem from the fact that all humans have similar constraints on vocal tract anatomy and neuromotor processing, i...
متن کاملCoarticulation in fluent fingerspelling.
In speech, the phenomenon of coarticulation (differentiation of phoneme production depending on the preceding or following phonemes) suggests an organization of movement sequences that is not strictly serial. In the skeletal motor system, however, evidence for comparable fluency has been lacking. Thus the present study was designed to quantify coarticulation in the hand movement sequences of si...
