This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) program (CFDA 47.070) totaling $549,999 aims to develop a framework for creating educational software to help deaf children and their hearing parents acquire sign language skills.

The key products to be delivered under this 2-year award include: 1) Robust datasets of American Sign Language (ASL) and Indian Sign Language (ISL) that will support new sign language recognition models and linguistic analysis; 2) Novel algorithms for accurate and efficient sign language recognition to enable practical deployment on mobile devices; and 3) Educational game design principles for software that can teach sign language without relying on English-based instruction. The research team will also assess the effectiveness of the software in improving children's language development and the broader applicability of the framework to support sign language learning globally.
