Conditional Collapse in Sign Language Production: A Diagnostic and a Scaling Argument
Researchers have developed new evaluation metrics for sign language production models, moving beyond traditional measures like FID and BLEU scores. These new metrics assess initial-pose conditioning, output diversity, and target faithfulness at independent levels. Testing 14 models on the How2Sign dataset revealed that none achieved sufficient faithfulness, suggesting dataset size is a key bottleneck for accurate sign language generation. AI
