Proceedings of the Third International Workshop on Automatic Translation for Signed and Spoken Languages (AT4SSL)

This work presents the first investigation into Spontaneous Isolated Sign Language Recognition for Catalan Sign Language (LSC). Our work is grounded on the derivation of a dataset of signs and their glosses from a corpus of spontaneous dialogues and monologues. The recognition model is based on a Multi-Scale Graph Convolutional network fitted to our data. Results are promising since several signs are recognized with a high level of accuracy, and an average accuracy of 71% on the top 5 predicted classes from a total of 105 available. An interactive interface with experimental results is also presented. The data and software are made available to the research community.
