American and Russian Sign Language Dactyl Recognition and Text2Sign Translation
P. 309–320.
Sign language is the main way to communicate for people from deaf community. However, common people mostly do not know sign language. In this paper, we overview several real-time sign language dactyl recognition systems using deep convolutional neural networks. These systems are able to recognize dactylized words gestured by signs for each letter. We evaluate our approach on American (ASL) and Russian (RSL) sign languages. This solution may help fasten the process of communication for deaf people. On the contrary, we also present the algorithm for generating sign animation from text information using text-to-sign video vocabulary, which helps to integrate sign language in dubbed TV and combining with speech recognition tool provide full translation from natural language to sign language.

This chapter presents the Russian Sign Language (RSL) Corpus and demonstrates
its capabilities as a research tool by summarizing three corpus-based
studies primarily focused on syntactic functions of nonmanual markers.
The first study considers question marking in regular wh-questions and in
question-answer pairs. It shows that the two constructions have very different
nonmanual markers. The second study analyzes marking of ...

The article describes the religious vocabulary in Russian Sign Language (RSL). It shows that the effects of
visual modality in sign languages, namely iconicity and the use of space, are clearly expressed in RSL religious
terms. There is also a clear tendency to distribute the mechanisms of direct iconic representation, visual metonymy,
and metaphor to different subgroups of ...

The article considers the problem of learning of recognizing emotions from pictures. A review and analysis of domestic and foreign works of scientists dealing with the problem of emotional intelligence was carried out. Its formation, influence on human activity and existing variants of its structure were considered, and common features in the understanding of emotional ...

Современные исследования, посвященные глухим и слабослыша- щим людям, а также глухоте в целом, в западных странах принято рассматривать в рамках такого междисциплинарного направле- ния, как Deaf Studies, появившегося во второй половине XX века. На русский язык перевести название этого направления наиболее корректно можно как «исследования сообщества глухих» в широком смысле: охватываются не только глухие и слабослышащие ...

Studies in various countries have addressed the social phenomena of d/Deaf users socialising online: in online spaces, d/Deaf users are able to hide their deafness, establish “weak ties” online (with people they don’t know personally), and acquire access to more information. In Russia, such studies have revealed social networks and messengers to be a very ...

When describing variation at the lexical level in sign languages, researchers often distinguish between phonological and lexical variants, using the following principle: if two signs differ in only one of the major phonological components (handshape, orientation, movement, location), then they are considered phonological variants, otherwise they are considered separate lexemes. We demonstrate that this principle ...

Depth estimation has been an essential task for many computer vision applications, especially in autonomous driving, where safety is paramount. Depth can be estimated not only with traditional supervised learning but also via a self-supervised approach that relies on camera motion and does not require ground truth depth maps. Recently, major improvements have been introduced ...

Total Cloud Cover (TCC) retrieval from ground-based optical imagery is a problem that has been tackled by several generations of researchers. The number of human-designed algorithms for the estimation of TCC grows every year. However, there has been no considerable progress in terms of quality, mostly due to the lack of systematic approach to the ...

In this paper, we study depth reconstruction via RGB-based, Sparse-Depth, and RGBd approaches. We showed that combination of RGB and Sparse Depth approach in RGBd scenario provides the best results. We also proved that the models performance can be further tuned via proper selection of architecture blocks and number of depth points guiding RGB-to-depth reconstruction. ...

Spectrum annotation is a challenging task due to the presence of unexpected peptide fragmentation ions as well as the inaccuracy of the detectors of the spectrometers. We present a deep convolutional neural network, called Slider, which learns an optimal feature extraction in its kernels for scoring mass spectrometry (MS)/MS spectra to increase the number of ...
