Researchers have introduced a new task and dataset for emotion recognition in sign language conversations, addressing the limitations of existing models that struggle with conversational context. The eJSL Dialog dataset, derived from the STUDIES corpus, comprises 1,920 video samples across 480 dialogues. Benchmarking revealed a significant domain gap for generic emotion recognition models when applied to sign language, highlighting the need for context-aware visual extractors specific to sign language and larger datasets for pre-training.
