Joint Transformer/RNN Architecture for Gesture Typing in Indic Languages (2020.coling-main)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Gesture typing is a method of typing words on a touch-based keyboard by drawing a continuous trace passing through the relevant keys. |
| Approach: | They propose a keyboard that supports gesture typing in Indic languages by drawing a continuous trace over the keyboard and the finger needs to be lifted only once a word is completed. |
| Outcome: | The proposed model performs path decoding, transliteration and transliterations correction. |

Encoding Gesture in Multimodal Dialogue: Creating a Corpus of Multimodal AMR (2024.lrec-main)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Abstract Meaning Representation (AMR) was designed to represent sentence meaning in English text, but recent research has explored its adaptation to broader domains, including documents, dialogues, spatial information, cross-lingual tasks, and gesture. |
| Approach: | They propose to annotate a multimodal (speech and gesture) AMR corpus in a task-based setting and capture coreference relationships across modalities. |
| Outcome: | The proposed corpus captures coreference relationships across modalities, enabling fine-grained analysis of how gesture and natural language interact. |

| Challenge: | Indic writing systems encode words as linear sequences of Unicode characters . authors propose a grapheme parser for Abugida text to normalize inconsistencies . |
| Approach: | They propose a normalizer for normalizing inconsistencies caused by Unicode encoding schemes . grapheme parser for Abugida deconstructs words into visually distinct orthographic syllables . |
| Outcome: | The proposed library is more efficient than the previously used IndicNLP normalizer . it deconstructs words into visually distinct orthographic syllables or complex graphemes . |

| Challenge: | Recent advances in Natural Language Understanding are driven by pretrained multilingual models, which can potentially reduce the performance gap between high-resource languages through zero-shot knowledge transfer. |
| Approach: | They propose to create a human-supervised benchmark for Indic languages, IndicXTREME, with nine diverse NLU tasks covering 20 languages. |
| Outcome: | The proposed model improves on the monolingual corpora, IndicCorp, and IndicBERT in Indic languages with 105 evaluation sets across languages and tasks. |
