<br/>   abstract  = {The SignSpeak project will be the first step to approach sign language
recognition and translation at levels already obtained in similar technologies such
as automatic speech recognition or statistical machine translation of spoken languages. Deaf communities revolve around sign languages as they are their natural means of
communication. Although deaf, hard of hearing and hearing signers can communicate
without boundaries amongst themselves, there is a serious challenge for the
deaf community in trying to integrate into educational, social and work environments.
The overall goal of SignSpeak is to develop a new vision-based technology for
recognizing and translating continuous sign language to text. New knowledge about the nature of sign language structure from the perspective
of machine recognition of continuous sign language will allow a subsequent breakthrough
in the development of a new vision-based technology for continuous sign
language recognition and translation. Existing and new publicly available corpora will be used to evaluate the research
progress throughout the whole project. },
