Why is immediate-serial-recall (short-term memory) span consistently shorter for sign language than it is for speech? A new study by Boutla et al. shows that neither the length of signs, nor the formational similarity of signed digits, can account for the difference. Their results suggest instead that the answer lies in differences between the auditory and visual systems. At the same time, howe...

Facial images present important visual variations, due to several parameters. Here, we focus on the identity and expression parts. We study the hypothesis of (image-based) automatic separability of identity from expressions. Indeed, sign language speakers using videos need a tool able to offer anonymity to their sign productions and such a tool has to modify the part of the facial image carryin...

The distinct visual and spatial nature of sign languages makes it difficult to develop an interfacing system as a communication medium platform for sign language users. This dissertation targets this problem by presenting some explorations in the a...
