- 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 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program provides $170,000 to support an early career postdoctoral scientist investigating the emergence of phonological structure in a family homesign system. The award, with a performance period from September 15, 2024 to August 31, 2026, will fund research comparing the linguistic capabilities and development of a family of deaf individuals who have created their own...
- 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 $160,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program supports an early career scientist's postdoctoral fellowship to use computational models to understand children's language processing development. The project aims to study how quickly children can put words together as they read, designing a web-based task to measure children's word-by-word reading times and using AI language models to analyze how their...
- 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 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (SBE) program (CFDA 47.075) provides $129,730 to Gallaudet University to create a sign language corpus that captures currently understudied characteristics of visual prosody. The project aims to develop a large corpus of sign language dialogues with annotations to promote data-driven research on the grammatical and emotional functions of visual prosody in sign languages. The...
- This Project Grant award for $170,000 from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program supports an early career postdoctoral researcher to conduct a cross-linguistic study of complex verbal predicates. The 2-year fellowship, beginning on January 1, 2025, will enable the researcher to investigate particle verb constructions in four understudied languages, with the goal of advancing scientific knowledge of verbal argument structures....
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program provides $170,130 to the Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT) to create a large sign language corpus and develop annotation methods to study visual prosody and its linguistic and emotional functions. The key objectives are to: (1) build a diverse sign language corpus inclusive of dialogues, (2) establish tested methods for annotating and representing...
- 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 Project Grant award in the amount of $160,000.00 from the National Science Foundation's Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075) supports a postdoctoral fellowship under the sponsorship of Dr. Julian Jara-Ettinger at Yale University. The project investigates how humans rapidly infer others' knowledge from subtle cues, such as response time and hesitation, to understand a critical capacity for effective communication. Through a combination of computational modeling and...
