• Abstract: The American Sign Language Linguistic Research Project (ASLLRP) provides Internet access to high-quality ASL video data, generally including front and side views and a close-up of the face. The manual and non-manual components of the signing have been linguistically annotated using SignStream(R). The recently expanded video corpora can be browsed and searched through the Data Access Interface (DAI 2) we have designed; it is possible to carry out complex searches. The data from our corpora can also be downloaded; annotations are available in an XML export format. We have also developed the ASLLRP Sign Bank, which contains almost 6,000 sign entries for lexical signs, with distinct English-based glosses, with a total of 41,830 examples of lexical signs (in addition to about 300 gestures, over 1,000 fingerspelled signs, and 475 classifier examples). The Sign Bank is likewise accessible and searchable on the Internet; it can also be accessed from within SignStream(R) (software to facilitate linguistic annotation and analysis of visual language data) to make annotations more accurate and efficient. Here we describe the available resources. These data have been used for many types of research in linguistics and in computer-based sign language recognition from video; examples of such research are provided in the latter part of this article.

We analyze the latent space formed by the spoken language text and sign language poses, which provides additional linguistic insights.

We propose that this dataset be used for sign language dictionary retrieval for American Sign Language (ASL), where a user demonstrates a sign to their webcam to retrieve matching signs from a dictionary.

  The focus of this work is $textitsign spotting$ - given a video of an isolated sign, our task is to identify $textitwhether$ and $textitwhere$ it has been signed in a continuous, co-articulated sign language video. We train a model using multiple types of available supervision by: (1) $textitwatching$ existing footage which is sparsely labelled using mouthing cues; (2) $textitreading$ associated subtitles which provide additional translations of the signed content. We validate the effectiveness of our approach on low

  Given a video of an isolated sign, our task is to identify whether and where it has been signed in a continuous, co-articulated sign language video. We train a model using multiple types of available supervision by: (1) watching existing sparsely labelled footage; (2) reading associated subtitles which provide additional weak-supervision; and (3) looking up words in visual sign language dictionaries. These three tasks are integrated into a unified learning framework using the principles of Noise Contrastive Estimation and Multiple Instance Learning.
