• Abstract summary: The goal of this work is to develop self-sufficient framework for Continuous Sign Language Recognition. These include the need for complex multi-scale features such as hands, face, and mouth for understanding, and absence of frame-level annotations. We propose Divide and Focus Convolution (DFConv) which extracts both manual and non-manual features without the need for additional networks or annotations. DPLR propagates non-spiky frame-level pseudo-labels by combining the ground truth gloss sequence labels with the predicted sequence.

• Abstract: The goal of this work is to develop self-sufficient framework for Continuous Sign Language Recognition (CSLR) that addresses key issues of sign language recognition. These include the need for complex multi-scale features such as hands, face, and mouth for understanding, and absence of frame-level annotations. To this end, we propose (1) Divide and Focus Convolution (DFConv) which extracts both manual and non-manual features without the need for additional networks or annotations, and (2) Dense Pseudo-Label Refinement (DPLR) which propagates non-spiky frame-level pseudo-labels by combining the ground truth gloss sequence labels with the predicted sequence. We demonstrate that our model achieves state-of-the-art performance among RGB-based methods on large-scale CSLR benchmarks, PHOENIX-2014 and PHOENIX-2014-T, while showing comparable results with better efficiency when compared to other approaches that use multi-modality or extra annotations.

  Person re-identification (ReID) has recently benefited from large pretrained vision-language models such as Contrastive Language-Image Pre-Training (CLIP) We propose one straightforward solution by leveraging existing image captioning models to generate pseudo captions for person images. We introduce CLIP-SCGI, a framework that leverages synthesized captions to guide the learning of discriminative and robust representations.

  In this study, we introduce a novel module in sign language recognition studies, called intra-inter gloss attention module. In the intra-gloss attention module, the video is divided into equally sized chunks and a self-attention mechanism is applied within each chunk. Experimental results on the PHOENIX-2014 benchmark dataset demonstrate that our method can effectively extract sign language features in an end-to-end manner.
