• Abstract summary: Sign language recognition could significantly improve the user experience for d/Deaf people with general consumer technology. Current sign language recognition architectures are usually computationally heavy and require robust GPU-equipped hardware to run in real-time. We build upon the SPOTER architecture, which comes close to the performance of large models employed for this task.

• Abstract: Sign language recognition could significantly improve the user experience for d/Deaf people with the general consumer technology, such as IoT devices or videoconferencing. However, current sign language recognition architectures are usually computationally heavy and require robust GPU-equipped hardware to run in real-time. Some models aim for lower-end devices (such as smartphones) by minimizing their size and complexity, which leads to worse accuracy. This highly scrutinizes accurate in-the-wild applications. We build upon the SPOTER architecture, which belongs to the latter group of light methods, as it came close to the performance of large models employed for this task. By substituting its original third-party pose estimation module with the MediaPipe library, we achieve an overall state-of-the-art result on the WLASL100 dataset. Significantly, our method beats previous larger architectures while still being twice as computationally efficient and almost $11$ times faster on inference when compared to a relevant benchmark. To demonstrate our method's combined efficiency and precision, we built an online demo that enables users to translate sign lemmas of American sign language in their browsers. This is the first publicly available online application demonstrating this task to the best of our knowledge.

  multimodal learning has become an important research area for artificial intelligence. For intelligent agents, the state is a crucial modality to convey precise information alongside common modalities like images, videos, and language. We propose a High-Fidelity Contrastive Language-State Pre-training method, which can accurately encode state information into general representations.

  Hand gesture serves as a crucial role during the expression of sign language. Current deep learning based methods for sign language understanding (SLU) are prone to over-fitting due to insufficient sign data resource. We propose the first self-supervised pre-trainable SignBERT+ framework with model-aware hand prior incorporated.
