Last project call before we take a break from the hustle and bustle of our everyday working schedules and shut down our devices to go enjoy the company of family and friends.

🎄The EASIER team wishes you a safe and joyful holiday season and a happy and productive 2024!

[European Union of the Deaf @EUD_Brussels]

👋 Wrapping up an incredible day of insights at the Concertation Event on Sign Language Research in Europe! Thanks to all participants for this insightful event! Diving deep into outcomes and future outlooks, we're committed to an inclusive and connected world. Stay tuned!

[EASIER project @EASIERproject]

Thanks to all the participants for today. It was a pleasure to discuss "Outcomes and Outlooks of Research on Sign Language Technology in Europe" with all of you.

@SignONEU @COST_CA19142 @EU_Commission @EUD_Brussels

[SignON @SignONEU]

Thanks to @FrankiePicron from @EUD_Brussels for closing today's event, and to all of the presenters for sharing their knowledge, expertise, and perspectives on the future of sign language technology and research. We will share a summary of the event soon.

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

[SignON @SignONEU]

'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 @SignONEU]

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

[EASIER project @EASIERproject]

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.
