| Challenge: | Sign Languages are the primary means of communication for at least half a million people in Europe . however, the development of SL recognition and translation tools is slowed down by resource scarcity and data formats are not suitable for machine learning. |
| Approach: | They propose a framework to unify available resources and facilitate SL research for different languages. |
| Outcome: | The proposed framework is based on a set of ELAN files and returns textual and visual data ready to train SL recognition and translation models. |

| Challenge: | Pretrained language models are the de facto backbone of most state-of-the-art NLP systems. |
| Approach: | They propose a family of domain-specific pretrained PLMs for French focusing on three important domains: transcribed speech, medicine, and law. |
| Outcome: | The proposed models perform better on transcribed speech, medicine, and law domains than state-of-the-art models on a diverse set of tasks and datasets. |
