The first step toward automating the translation language is one of the recent areas of the machine learning is to formalize the sign language in standard form. There domain. Many research efforts have focused on categorizing are existing several forms of sing languages including Stokoe sign language into gesture or facial recognition. However, these [4], HamNoSys [5], SignWriting [6], and Gloss Notation [7]. efforts ignore the linguistic structure and the context of natural Stokoe notation does not include facial expressions and body sentences. Traditional translation methods have low translation movements. Thus, this sign language is limited and is not quality, poor scalability of their underlying models, and are time- suitable for translation to the deaf. Furthermore, the Ham- consuming. The contribution of this paper is twofold. First, it NoSys form is designed to formalize any sign language using proposes a deep learning approach for bidirectional translation 3D animated avatar. However, it does not provide any easy using GRU TI - Sign Language Gloss Translation using Deep Learning Models JF - International Journal of Advanced Computer Science and Applications DO - 10.14569/ijacsa.2021.0121178 DA - 2021-01-01 UR - https://www.deepdyve.com/lp/unpaywall/sign-language-gloss-translation-using-deep-learning-models-WOymOjEUyo DP - DeepDyve ER -
