Neural Translation of Sign Language

Betreuer/in: Sarah Ebling, Mathias Müller

Introduction

The aim of this project is to conduct research into neural machine translation (NMT) between sign language and spoken language text. You will be involved in preparing an existing sign language dataset for use in NMT and performing NMT experiments.

Aim and Purpose

Important contributions will include:

  • Deriving suitable representations for capturing the multilinear nature of sign languages
  • Training NMT models using state-of-the-art frameworks

Requirements

Completion of the following lectures:

  • Machine Translation
  • Advanced Techniques of Machine Translation
