The ATIS sign language corpus
Jan Bungeroth,Daniel Stein,Philippe Dreuw,Hermann Ney,Sara Morrissey,Andy Way,Lynette van Zijl +6 more
TL;DR: The ATIS sign language corpus can be used for different tasks like automatic statistical translation and automatic sign language recognition and it allows the specific modelling of spatial references in signing space.

South African Sign Language Machine Translation System
Lynette van Zijl,Dean Barker +1 more
TL;DR: The South African Sign Language Machine Translation System takes as its input English text, and outputs an avatar signing the equivalent SASL, in the light of the specific requirements of Sign Language.
Cellular automata with cell clustering.
Lynette van Zijl,Eugene Smal +1 more
TL;DR: This work considers the modelling of a particular layout optimisation problem with cellular automata, namely, the LEGO construction problem, and shows that this problem can be modelled easily with cellular Automata, provided that cells are considered as clusters which can merge or split during each time step of the evolution of the cellular automaton.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
South African sign language machine translation project
TL;DR: The South African Sign Language Machine Translation project is described and the role that the project is playing in the larger context of South African sign language and accessibility for the South African Deaf community is pointed out.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
The South African sign language machine translation project: issues on non-manual sign generation
TL;DR: It is shown that post-processing of the target language tree, after transfer rules have been applied, results in a simple and efficient mechanism to generate information on non-manual signs for use in a signing avatar.
