A Greedy Skeleton Retrieval Framework for Vietnamese Text-to-Sign Generation

Sign Language Production (SLP) plays a crucial role in bridging the communication gap between the Deaf community and broader society, functioning alongside Sign Language Translation (SLT) and Recognition (SLR). In addition to the limited scale of available data, research on Vietnamese Sign Language (VSL) is further hin...

Variational Sign Language Translation

A novel framework based on conditional Variational autoencoder for SLT (VSLT) that facilitates direct and sufficient cross-modal alignment between sign language videos and spoken language text is proposed, and a shared Attention Residual Gaussian Distribution (ARGD) which considers the textual information as a residual...

SignFLIP: A Unified Model for Sign Language Translation and Generation via Stage-wise Alignment at Scale

Sign language translation and generation share the goal of bidirectional alignment between text and sign representations. However, existing approaches either treat them as isolated tasks or are only verified on limited datasets, limiting effective modeling between modalities. In this paper, we propose SignFLIP, a unifi...

SignLlama: Enhancing Gloss-free Sign Language Translation by Prioritizing Visual Features for LLMs

Large Language Models (LLMs) have achieved remarkable success across a wide range of tasks. However, fine-tuning LLMs for Gloss-Free Sign Language Translation (GFSLT) remains a challenge. In this paper, we investigate how to effectively adapt LLMs to the GFSLT task. We show that there are two key issues that need to be...
