TLDR
This paper discusses sign language recognition using linguistic sub-units, presenting three types of sub- units for consideration; those learnt from appearance data as well as those inferred from both 2D or 3D tracking data.Abstract:
This paper discusses sign language recognition using linguistic sub-units. It presents three types of sub-units for consideration; those learnt from appearance data as well as those inferred from both 2D or 3D tracking data. These sub-units are then combined using a sign level classifier; here, two options are presented. The first uses Markov Models to encode the temporal changes between sub-units. The second makes use of Sequential Pattern Boosting to apply discriminative feature selection at the same time as encoding temporal information. This approach is more robust to noise and performs well in signer independent tests, improving results from the 54% achieved by the Markov Chains to 76%.read more

Better Sign Language Translation with STMC-Transformer

TL;DR: This article showed that glosses are an inefficient representation of sign language, and suggested an end-to-end training of the recognition and translation models, or using a different sign language annotation scheme.

Real Time Prediction of American Sign Language Using Convolutional Neural Networks
TL;DR: This project uses Convolutional Neural Networks to create a robust model that understands 29 ASL characters (26 alphabets and 3 special characters) and hosts the model locally over a real-time video interface which provides the predictions in real- time and displays the corresponding English characters on the screen like subtitles.

Sign Language Static Gestures Recognition Tool Prototype
TL;DR: The main distinguishing feature of the approach is that, unlike most of the existing approaches, it performs hand detection and gesture recognition jointly, i.e. at the very moment when the shape of a static gesture is detected its specific label is automatically recognized.

A Dictionary Approach to Identifying Transient RFI
TL;DR: In this article, a dictionary-based approach to transient radio frequency interference (RFI) identification is proposed, where RFI events are treated as sequences of sub-events, drawn from particular labelled classes.

Random Forests
TL;DR: Internal estimates monitor error, strength, and correlation and these are used to show the response to increasing the number of features used in the forest, and are also applicable to regression.

Rapid object detection using a boosted cascade of simple features

TL;DR: A machine learning approach for visual object detection which is capable of processing images extremely rapidly and achieving high detection rates and the introduction of a new image representation called the "integral image" which allows the features used by the detector to be computed very quickly.

A Decision-Theoretic Generalization of On-Line Learning and an Application to Boosting
Yoav Freund,Robert E. Schapire +1 more
TL;DR: The model studied can be interpreted as a broad, abstract extension of the well-studied on-line prediction model to a general decision-theoretic setting, and it is shown that the multiplicative weight-update Littlestone?Warmuth rule can be adapted to this model, yielding bounds that are slightly weaker in some cases, but applicable to a considerably more general class of learning problems.

Visual pattern recognition by moment invariants
TL;DR: It is shown that recognition of geometrical patterns and alphabetical characters independently of position, size and orientation can be accomplished and it is indicated that generalization is possible to include invariance with parallel projection.

Shape quantization and recognition with randomized trees
Yali Amit,Donald Geman +1 more
TL;DR: A new approach to shape recognition based on a virtually infinite family of binary features (queries) of the image data, designed to accommodate prior information about shape invariance and regularity, and a comparison with artificial neural networks methods is presented.
