  • Towards Kurdish Text to Sign Translation
    Proceedings of the 9th Workshop on the Representation and Processing of Sign Languages, pages 117–122 Language Resources and Evaluation Conference (LREC 2020), Marseille, 11–16 May 2020 c European Language Resources Association (ELRA), licensed under CC-BY-NC Towards Kurdish Text to Sign Translation Zina Kamal, Hossein Hassani University of Kurdistan Hewlêr, University of Kurdistan Hewlêr Kurdistan Region - Iraq, Kurdistan Region - Iraq {z.kamal3, hosseinh}@ukh.edu.krd Abstract The resources and technologies for sign language processing of resourceful languages are emerging, while the low-resource languages are falling behind. Kurdish is a multi-dialect language, and it is considered a low-resource language. It is spoken by approximately 30 million people in several countries, which denotes that it has a large community with hearing-impairments as well. This paper reports on a project which aims to develop the necessary data and tools to process the sign language for Sorani as one of the spoken Kurdish dialects. We present the results of developing a dataset in HamNoSys and its corresponding SiGML form for the Kurdish Sign lexicon. We use this dataset to implement a sign-supported Kurdish tool to check the accuracy of the sign lexicon. We tested the tool by presenting it to hearing-impaired individuals. The experiment showed that 100% of the translated letters were understandable by a hearing-impaired person. The percentages were 65% for isolated words, and approximately 30% for the words in sentences. The data is publicly available at https://github.com/KurdishBLARK/KurdishSignLanguage for non-commercial use under the CC BY-NC-SA 4.0 licence.

  • Cardinal Numerals in Rural Sign Languages: Approaching Cross-Modal Typology
    Cardinal numerals in rural sign languages: Approaching cross-modal typology ULRIKE ZESHAN, CESAR ERNESTO ESCOBEDO DELGADO, HASAN DIKYUVA, SIBAJI PANDA, and CONNIE DE VOS Abstract This article presents data on cardinal numerals in three sign languages from small-scale communities with hereditary deafness. The unusual features found in these data considerably extend the known range of typological variety across sign languages. Some features, such as non-decimal numeral bases, are unat- tested in sign languages, but familiar from spoken languages, while others, such as subtractive sub-systems, are rare in sign and speech. We conclude that for a complete typological appraisal of a domain, an approach to cross-modal typology, which includes a typologically diverse range of sign languages in addition to spoken languages, is both instructive and feasible. Keywords: cardinal numerals, morphology, numeral bases, numerals, rural sign languages, sign languages 1. Introduction This article discusses primary data on cardinal numerals from three sign lan- guages in small-scale rural communities in Turkey, India, and Mexico. Re- search on such “rural sign languages” is a very recent undertaking, and here we aim to contribute toward what is known about the typology of signed and spoken languages. Sections 1.1 and 1.2 introduce the phenomenon of rural sign languages as compared to the better-documented sign languages of urban deaf communities, as well as presenting an overview of what we know about cardi- nal numerals in urban sign languages, as compared to spoken languages. Sec- tion 2 details the sociolinguistic setting of the target languages, followed by the data analysis in Sections 3 and 4.

Crises keep intruding, making it all but impossible to look beyond daily headlines to what lies over the horizon. In those circumstances, thinking “outside the box,” to use the cliché, too often loses out to keeping up with the inbox. That is why every four years the National Intelligence Council (NIC) undertakes a major assessment of the forces and choices shaping the world before us over the next two decades.

  • Kurdish Sign Language Recognition System
    RESEARCH ARTICLE Kurdish Sign Language Recognition System Abdulla Dlshad, Fattah Alizadeh Department of Computer Science and Engineering, University of Kurdistan Hewler, Erbil, Kurdistan Region - F.R. Iraq *Corresponding author’s email: [email protected] Received: 01 February 2018 Accepted: 22 April 2018 Available online: 30 June 2018 ABSTRACT Deaf people all around the world face difficulty to communicate with the others. Hence, they use their own language to communicate with each other. On the other hand, it is difficult for deaf people to get used to technological services such as websites, television, mobile applications, and so on. This project aims to design a prototype system for deaf people to help them to communicate with other people and computers without relying on human interpreters. The proposed system is for letter-based Kurdish Sign Language (KuSL) which has not been introduced before. The system would be a real-time system that takes actions immediately after detecting hand gestures. Three algorithms for detecting KuSL have been implemented and tested, two of them are well-known methods that have been implemented and tested by other researchers, and the third one has been introduced in this paper for the 1st time. The new algorithm is named Grid- based gesture descriptor. It turned out to be the best method for the recognition of Kurdish hand signs. Furthermore, the result of the algorithm was 67% accuracy of detecting hand gestures. Finally, the other well-known algorithms are named scale invariant feature transform and speeded-up robust features, and they responded with 42% of accuracy. Keywords: Image Processing, Kurdish, Machine Learning, Sign Language 1.

  • Quantitative Survey of the State of the Art in Sign Language Recognition
    QUANTITATIVE SURVEY OF THE STATE OF THE ART IN SIGN LANGUAGE RECOGNITION Oscar Koller∗ Speech and Language Microsoft Munich, Germany [email protected] September 1, 2020 ABSTRACT This work presents a meta study covering around 300 published sign language recognition papers with over 400 experimental results. It includes most papers between the start of the field in 1983 and 2020. Additionally, it covers a fine-grained analysis on over 25 studies that have compared their recognition approaches on RWTH-PHOENIX-Weather 2014, the standard benchmark task of the field. Research in the domain of sign language recognition has progressed significantly in the last decade, reaching a point where the task attracts much more attention than ever before. This study compiles the state of the art in a concise way to help advance the field and reveal open questions. Moreover, all of this meta study’s source data is made public, easing future work with it and further expansion. The analyzed papers have been manually labeled with a set of categories. The data reveals many insights, such as, among others, shifts in the field from intrusive to non-intrusive capturing, from local to global features and the lack of non-manual parameters included in medium and larger vocabulary recognition systems. Surprisingly, RWTH-PHOENIX-Weather with a vocabulary of 1080 signs represents the only resource for large vocabulary continuous sign language recognition benchmarking world wide. Keywords Sign Language Recognition · Survey · Meta Study · State of the Art Analysis 1 Introduction Since recently, automatic sign language recognition experiences significantly more attention by the community.
