Description

Towards automated Australian Sign Language translation. This project aims to address the computational modelling of Auslan. The project expects to generate knowledge by creating the largest Auslan dataset, enabling further advancements in this research area. The dataset will also play an essential role in other research fields, e.g., sign linguistics. Expected outcomes include the invention of the first Auslan recogniser and generator capable of distinguishing and synthesising 1000+ signs, representing a substantial advancement towards fully automated Auslan translation. This should provide significant benefits for the Australian Deaf community, such as high-quality digital systems for education and communication, resulting in increased quality of life and inclusion in the Australian society.. Scheme: Discovery Early Career Researcher Award. Field: 4608 - Human-Centred Computing. Lead: Dr Kalin Stefanov
