We present a number of methodological recommendations concerning the online evaluation of avatars for text-to-sign translation, focusing on the structure, format and length of the questionnaire, as well as methods for eliciting and faithfully transcribing responses
One of the major challenges in sign language translation from a sign language to a spoken language is the lack of parallel corpora. Recent works have achieved promising results on the RWTH-PHOENIX-Weather 2014T dataset, which consists of over eight t
housand parallel sentences between German sign language and German. However, from the perspective of neural machine translation, this is still a tiny dataset. To improve the performance of models trained on small datasets, transfer learning can be used. While this has been previously applied in sign language translation for feature extraction, to the best of our knowledge, pretrained language models have not yet been investigated. We use pretrained BERT-base and mBART-50 models to initialize our sign language video to spoken language text translation model. To mitigate overfitting, we apply the frozen pretrained transformer technique: we freeze the majority of parameters during training. Using a pretrained BERT model, we outperform a baseline trained from scratch by 1 to 2 BLEU-4. Our results show that pretrained language models can be used to improve sign language translation performance and that the self-attention patterns in BERT transfer in zero-shot to the encoder and decoder of sign language translation models.
In this paper, we processed an array which represents the
human hand image to get the characteristics of this image. So,
we used FPGA technique, and the processing operation is
partitioned into three threads which is carried out in parallel.
Each
thread is carried out using the pipeline technique by
partitioning thread into four segments. After that, we evaluated
the speedup that we get in result of using the pipeline technique
and the parallel threads. So, we have the possibility to design an
embedded system integrated into chip (SoC), and using the
mobile phones as integral devices support the software and
hardware resources.

This study aims to identifythe effect of hearing impairment on the the development
of communication of poor-hearing children. Validity and reliability have been examined
for the instrument and were approved to be usedin the current study.The instru
ment was
developed by the researcher and consisted of (32) items. The Sample consisted of (50)
families of the hearing impaired children.
The most frequent problemswerethe child’s request for repeating the speech and
were related to finding difficulties in continuing the conversation. The least common
problem was that the child moved away from others. The finding showed that there were
no significant statistical differences in the effect of gender of poor-hearing children on the
development of communicationand in their parents’ educathional level.
