Abstract(in English) In this study, our purpose is to recognize signs using machine learning. In order to take into account the transition motions that occur in a sign sentence, machine learning adopts the sign sentences as training data, and a trained model is created. We experimented two models: one that incorporates Connectionist Temporal Classification (CTC) which is a method used in speech recognition, and the other is a conformer model that uses a transformer used in natural language processing. As the result, the recognition rate for the entire test data was about 74% by the CTC method and about 32% by the Conformer method. However, the recognition results of the Conformer method showed a phenomenon as over-learning, and we estimated that it might worked properly. We will improve the Conformer method and will investigate a new algorithm that combines the Transformer with CTC.
