This National Science Foundation project grant of $149,999 supports research on American Sign Language grammar through 2026. Funded under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075), the collaborative project will analyze usage of specific ASL signs in online videos to contribute to understanding ASL structure. It will establish best practices for accessible research using internet data and increase participation of deaf linguists. Specifically, researchers will collect...
This project grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Behavioral and Cognitive Sciences, under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075), provides $149,999 to Gallaudet University to study American Sign Language usage. The university will collaborate with deaf researchers to analyze instances of "what" signs in a large sample of American Sign Language videos posted online. Through this analysis, the project aims to contribute to understanding...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $208,058 Project Grant to Trustees of Boston University to conduct collaborative research on quantifying sign reduction in sign language using human pose estimation. The research project, funded through the NSF's Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075), investigates phonetic variation in signed languages by analyzing patterns of sign articulation. The researchers leverage computer vision techniques to extract anatomical...
This National Science Foundation Project Grant of $628,966 will fund research from August 2022 to July 2025 to develop technologies for recognizing American Sign Language (ASL) from continuous signing videos. The award was made under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering program (CFDA 47.070), which supports research and education in computing and information sciences. The grantee, Rutgers University, and its partners will create a novel machine learning approach with three key...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award, under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program, provides $129,730 to Gallaudet University in Washington, D.C. to create a large corpus of annotated sign language dialogues that capture understudied characteristics of visual prosody and its grammatical and emotional functions. The project aims to develop a tested method for representing these linguistic features, establish best practices for continued use of...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $170,130 Project Grant under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program to the Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT) to create a large sign language corpus with annotations focused on capturing understudied characteristics of visual prosody and its grammatical and emotional functions. The project aims to develop best practices for representing these characteristics in the corpus, provide open access teaching modules,...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Behavioral and Cognitive Sciences awarded a $444,630 Project Grant to the Regents of the University of Michigan to investigate how signers and gesturers communicate about everyday activities and events. The project, funded through the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075), will examine communication in sign language by deaf signers, communication in gesture by hearing speakers, and communication in sign language by...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program awarded a $299,247 Project Grant to Chapman University to investigate phonetic variation in sign language. The 3-year project will leverage computer vision and a sign language lexical database developed under prior NSF funding to analyze patterns of phonetic reduction in over 100,000 videos of signs produced by deaf signers. Using human pose estimation techniques, the researchers will extract anatomical...
This $160,551 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program strengthens the pipeline for deaf scientists in the field of signed language research. The award funds pre- and post-conference mentorship activities, as well as support for a group of deaf college and university students to attend and fully participate in an international sign language research conference. Key project elements include: Mentorship and...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) Federal Grant Program (CFDA 47.070) Project Grant award of $299,849 to Gallaudet University will fund the development of a multiview system for recording 3D videos of American Sign Language (ASL) communication and social interactions. The research aims to create a comprehensive, high-quality dataset of ASL usage across diverse settings, which can be shared with researchers and the deaf and deafblind...
