This National Science Foundation (NSF) Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) Program grant (CFDA 47.070) for $549,999 awarded to Georgia Tech Research Corporation will develop a framework to enable the rapid creation of educational software for sign language learning, targeting both American Sign Language (ASL) and Indian Sign Language (ISL). The key products to be delivered include: Robust datasets of ASL and ISL use, including fingerspelling, words, and phrases, to support...
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...
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 $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 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...
