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...
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 $150,000 National Science Foundation project grant supports research on American Sign Language usage and grammar through analysis of online video data. Funded under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075), the collaborative project between The University of New Mexico and deaf researchers aims to 1) contribute to understanding ASL grammar patterns, 2) establish best practices for analyzing internet video data, and 3) increase deaf participation in linguistic...
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 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 $260,027 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program will support the development of a new artificial intelligence tool designed to improve collaborative learning experiences for deaf students in university-level science courses. The project aims to address challenges around the lack of standardized American Sign Language (ASL) signs for many scientific concepts, which can hinder deaf students'...
This $239,973 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program will support the development of a new artificial intelligence-based tool to improve collaborative learning experiences and outcomes for deaf students in university-level science courses. The project aims to address challenges around the lack of standard American Sign Language (ASL) terminology for many scientific concepts, which can hinder deaf...
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 $395,017 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) supports the development of a new artificial intelligence tool designed to revolutionize collaborative learning for deaf students in science education. The project, led by Gallaudet University, aims to address the lack of standardized American Sign Language (ASL) signs for many scientific concepts, which can hinder deaf students' ability to fully engage in classroom discussions. The tool...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program provides $160,551 to Gallaudet University to strengthen the pipeline for deaf scientists in signed language research. The project aims to increase the participation of deaf and hard-of-hearing students in the field of signed language research through a mentorship and access model. Key activities include: Providing a cohort of deaf college and university...
