Sign language production method SignRR combines retrieval and refinement

Researchers have developed a new method called SignRR for sign language production, which aims to generate continuous signing motion from spoken language. This approach combines retrieval of real motion segments with a refinement process using a part-aware Residual VQ-VAE. The SignRR framework improves upon existing methods by preserving fine hand articulation and addressing inconsistencies that arise from concatenating motion segments. Experiments on the PHOENIX14T and CSL-Daily datasets demonstrate that SignRR achieves state-of-the-art performance in back-translation while maintaining competitive pose quality. AI

IMPACT This new method could improve the accuracy and naturalness of sign language generation systems.

    SignRR: Retrieve and Refine Real Motion for Sign Language Production

    arXiv:2608.28568v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Sign language production (SLP) aims to generate continuous signing motion from spoken language, often through gloss-to-pose generation. Prior work mainly follows two paradigms. Generative models synthesize motion from a learned prio…
