Elicitation protocol and material for a corpus of long prepared monologues in Sign Language (L18-1)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | elicitation of long discourses is difficult in Sign Language, and is often a problem . e.g., elicitation of long texts is a technique that can be used to collect long discourse . |
| Approach: | They propose a protocol and two tasks to collect long discourse in Sign Language . they propose to ensure both are collected and prepared in the language . |
| Outcome: | The proposed protocol improves the produced data and the results of a test with LSF informants. |

Dicta-Sign-LSF-v2: Remake of a Continuous French Sign Language Dialogue Corpus and a First Baseline for Automatic Sign Language Processing (2020.lrec-1)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Existing research on automatic Sign Language Processing (SLP) has focused on recognizing lexical signs, but other gestural units like iconic structures need to be recognized. |
| Approach: | They propose a public remake of the French Sign Language part of the Dicta-Sign corpus with clean annotations and a Convolutional-Recurrent Neural Network to train and test it. |
| Outcome: | The proposed version of the publicly available SL corpus Dicta-Sign is limited to its French Sign Language part and includes lexical and non-lexical annotations over 11 hours of video recording with 35000 manual units. |
