New Sign Language Question Answering task and benchmarks released

Researchers have introduced a new task called Sign Language Question Answering (SLQA) to better evaluate sign language understanding beyond simple recognition or translation. This task requires models to answer natural language questions about sign language videos, assessing a broader range of reasoning capabilities. To support SLQA, two benchmark datasets, SignQA, were created using PHOENIX14T and CSL-Daily, featuring question-answer pairs across five categories like position reasoning and visual search. A baseline model incorporating a Question-Conditioned Modulated Temporal Downsampling module was also proposed, demonstrating superior performance on these benchmarks compared to existing vision-language models.
