Today we discuss Data and Other Challenges with Caro Brosens, @SignONEU Project Member.
It is key to invest in high quality data and better technological environments to process this data so we can use it!
@COST_CA19142@EU_Commission@EUD_Brussels
'The data bottleneck in sign language research is often reduced to “there is not enough data” but the situation is a lot more nuanced than that' - Caro Brosens (@VGTCentrum) explains the challenges with sign language data.
SignON's Scientific Coordinator @DShterionov explains the different steps and technologies involved in automatically translating between sign languages and spoken/written languages - the Sign Language Machine Translation (SLMT) pipeline.
"Minority languages remain disconnected from technology, with major impact on inclusion.’" Eleni Efthymiou, EASIER Scientific Coordinator presents "Sign Language and Sign Language processing technologies"
@SignONEU@COST_CA19142@EU_Commission@EUD_Brussels
Krishna Chandramouli, WG3 Leader of @COST_CA19142 stressed how the persistence to keep investing and the belief that inclusive technology needs to improve can be a major driving force to keep pursuing a path leading to a better society.
