- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $562,856 Project Grant under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CFDA 47.070) program to the New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT) to develop adaptive artificial intelligence systems that can determine and caption important non-speech sounds in online video content. The research project aims to create tools that make non-speech audio cues, such as environmental sounds and speaking styles, accessible to viewers, including deaf,...
- This $401,324 federal Project Grant award was provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) program (CFDA 47.070). The grant will fund a 5-year project led by the Research Foundation for the State University of New York (RF SUNY) to develop an innovative American Sign Language (ASL) learning platform using wearable devices integrated with artificial intelligence (AI). The key objectives are to: 1) design wearable devices for...
- This $165,014 National Science Foundation project grant will fund the development of linguistically-driven sign recognition technologies from continuous American Sign Language (ASL) signing videos. The Rochester Institute of Technology will receive funding under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering program (CFDA 47.070) to advance sign recognition techniques for isolated citations to segmented signs within sentences. The research will create an end-to-end machine learning...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Cooperative Agreement award, funded under the NSF Technology, Innovation, and Partnerships (CFDA 47.084) program, provides $1,250,000 to Sign-Speak Inc. to develop a real-time artificial intelligence (AI) bidirectional American Sign Language (ASL) communication system. The goal is to create an advanced communication solution that uses computer vision and machine learning to enhance communications for the deaf and hard-of-hearing (DHH) community. The broader...
- This $405,106 National Science Foundation project grant will fund the development of linguistically-driven sign recognition technologies for American Sign Language (ASL) videos. Funded under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering program (CFDA 47.070), the Trustees of Boston University will receive funding from August 2022 through July 2025. The project aims to advance sign recognition capabilities from isolated signs to continuous signing videos. Key deliverables include novel...
- This federal Project Grant award of $237,141.00 from the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CFDA 47.070) program supports research to develop adaptive artificial intelligence systems that can determine which non-speech sounds, such as environmental sounds and audio cues, are important for understanding video content and present them in accessible formats for viewers, including deaf and hard-of-hearing individuals and older adults. The...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CFDA 47.070) program provides $174,999 to Gallaudet University to develop principled methods for studying and designing American Sign Language (ASL)-based intelligent personal assistants (IPAs) that enable deaf ASL users to interact with computers. The project aims to conduct experiments with deaf users to understand how well ASL-based IPA interfaces that recognize limited...
Rutgers, The State University was awarded a $750,000 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation under the NSF Technology, Innovation, and Partnerships program (CFDA 47.084) to develop artificial intelligence-based tools to enhance access and opportunities for deaf and hard-of-hearing individuals. Specifically, the grant will fund development of tools for privacy protection for American Sign Language video communication and video search-by-example for accessing multimedia digital resources. Subawards of $TBD each were provided to Rochester Institute of Technology and Trustees of Boston University to support this work. The tools aim to allow signers to anonymize ASL videos while preserving linguistic information and enable searching for signs based on ASL input. The products seek to benefit the over 500,000 U.S. signers and potentially be extended to other sign languages. Work will be completed by November 2023.
