Abstract

A method may include obtaining a first video data including sign language originating at a first device during a communication session, obtaining one or more features from the first video data, and determining one or more matching functions from the one or more features. The method may further include determining, using a language model, a first set of one or more symbols from the one or more matching functions, and determining a second set of one or more symbols from the first set of one or more symbols.

Claims (37)

1 . A method comprising:

obtaining a first video data including sign language originating at a first device during a communication session;

obtaining, during the communication session, one or more features from the first video data;

determining one or more matching functions from the one or more features;

determining, using a language model, a first set of one or more symbols from the one or more matching functions; and

determining a second set of one or more symbols from the first set of one or more symbols.

2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the first set of one or more symbols includes gloss.

3 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the second set of one or more symbols includes script.

4 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the language model uses gloss.

5 . The method of claim 1 , wherein determining a second set of one or more symbols from the first set of one or more symbols includes language translation from gloss to script.

6 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising providing the second set of one or more symbols for presentation on a display during the communication session.

7 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

generating a first audio from the second set of one or more symbols and

providing the first audio for presentation during the communication session.

8 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the language model includes a statistical language model.

9 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the language model uses at least one neural network.

10 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising determining a third set of one or more symbols from the second set of one or more symbols.

11 . The method of claim 10 , wherein determining a third set of one or more symbols from the second set of one or more symbols includes language translation from a first spoken language to a second spoken language.

12 . The method of claim 11 , further comprising:

generating a second audio from the third set of one or more symbols; and

providing the second audio for presentation during the communication session.

13 . A method comprising:

obtaining a first video data including sign language originating at a first device during a communication session;

obtaining, during the communication session, one or more features from the first video data;

determining one or more matching functions from the one or more features using a first model, wherein the first model is associated with a second part of a first sign and a first part of a second sign; and

determining a first set of one or more symbols from the one or more matching functions.

14 . The method of claim 13 , further comprising translating the first set of one or more symbols into a second set of one or more symbols.

15 . The method of claim 13 , wherein the first set of one or more symbols includes gloss and the second set of one or more symbols includes script.

16 . The method of claim 14 , further comprising:

generating a first audio from the second set of one or more symbols; and

providing the first audio for presentation during the communication session.

17 . The method of claim 13 , further comprising determining one or more matching functions from the one or more features using a second model of a third sign.

18 . The method of claim 17 , wherein the second part of the first sign includes a first one or more states, the first part of the second sign includes a second one or more states, and the third sign includes a third one or more states.

19 . The method of claim 18 , wherein:

at least one state in the first part of the second sign is tied to at least one state in the third sign.

20 . The method of claim 18 , wherein:

at least one state in the first part of the second sign and at least one state in the third sign are the same state.
