Abstract

In this paper, we present APlus, a corpus of French Sign Language that includes motion capture, video and eye-tracker data. We first explain the motivation for the creation of this resource; secondly we describe the preparation work to design the best setup regarding our constraints and aims, and then, the content of the corpus at this moment of the project.

Integrating MultiWordNet with Italian Sign Language lexical resources

A novel Italian Sign Language MultiWordNet (LMWN), which integrates the MultiWordNet (MWN) lexical database with the Italian Sign Language (LIS), is presented in this paper. The approach relies on LIS lexical resources which support and help to search ...
Modeling animations of American Sign Language verbs through motion-capture of native ASL signers

Software to generate American Sign Language (ASL) automatically can provide benefits for deaf people with low English literacy. However, modern computational linguistic software cannot produce important aspects of ASL signs and verbs. Better models of ...
