Sign Language Phoneme Transcription with Rule-based Hand Trajectory Segmentation
A common approach to extract phonemes of sign language is to use an unsupervised clustering algorithm to group the sign segments. However, simple clustering algorithms based on dis...

An MDL-based approach to extracting subword units for grapheme-to-phoneme conversion
We address a key problem in grapheme-tophoneme conversion: the ambiguity in mapping grapheme units to phonemes. Rather than using single letters and phonemes as units, we propose ...

Toward Scalability in ASL Recognition: Breaking Down Signs into Phonemes
In this paper we present a novel approach to continuous, whole-sentence ASL recognition that uses phonemes instead of whole signs as the basic units. Our approach is based on a se...

Alignment of Speech to Highly Imperfect Text Transcriptions
We introduce a novel and inexpensive approach for the temporal alignment of speech to highly imperfect transcripts from automatic speech recognition (ASR). Transcripts are generat...
