Transformer heads and motion gates offer no gains for CorrNet CSLR

A new empirical study investigates enhancements to the CorrNet model for continuous sign language recognition (CSLR). Researchers found that replacing the BiLSTM temporal head with a Transformer encoder did not improve performance and had similar computational costs. Additionally, a proposed MotionGate module, designed to inject motion cues, consistently defaulted to an identity mapping, indicating redundancy with CorrNet's existing correlation-based encoding. AI

IMPACT Suggests that architectural extensions for CSLR should be carefully tested rather than assumed to be beneficial.

    Do Transformer Temporal Heads and Post-Pooling Motion Gates Help CorrNet-based CSLR? An Empirical Study

    arXiv:2607.09890v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: CorrNet is a strong baseline for continuous sign language recognition (CSLR) because it models inter-frame correlations inside the visual encoding stage. In this paper, we study two natural extensions of a reproduced CorrNet system:…
