New SMART framework uses MLLMs for sign language recognition and spotting

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Researchers have developed SMART, a novel framework that leverages multimodal large language models (MLLMs) to improve sign language recognition and spotting. This approach uses MLLM-generated motion descriptions as auxiliary semantic cues and employs a stable video-text alignment method suitable for small-batch training. The framework also incorporates a Multi-Scale Temporal Adapter for enhanced temporal representation learning and a CSLR-guided spotting module called CSFormer for dense temporal localization. Experiments on four benchmark datasets demonstrate SMART's effectiveness in both recognition and spotting tasks. AI

IMPACT This framework could improve accessibility for deaf and hard-of-hearing individuals by enhancing the accuracy and efficiency of sign language interpretation technologies.

    SMART: MLLM-guided Temporal Alignment for Unifying Sign Language Recognition and Spotting

    arXiv:2608.25493v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Continuous sign language recognition (CSLR) aims to recognize gloss sequences from unsegmented sign videos under weak sequence-level supervision. However, existing methods rely on sentence-level gloss annotations, providing limited …
