Morpho-Syntax Based Statistical Methods for Automatic Sign Language Translation.
D. L. Stein, Jan Bungeroth, Hermann Ney · 2006
We present a novel approach for the automatic translation of written text into sign language. A new corpus focussing on the weather report domain for the language pair German and German Sign Language is introduced. We apply phrase-based statistical machine translation, enhanced by pre- and post-processing steps based on the morpho-syntactical analysis of German. Detailed results are given based on automatic and manual evaluation. 1
