| Abstract(in English) | In Japan today, it is said that approximately 340,000 people with hearing or speech disabilities are among the holders of physical disability certificates. There are various forms of communication ways for the hearing impaired, depending on differences in hearing ability, congenital or partial hearing loss, etc. One of these ways is sign language. Sign language is a visual language, a natural language with its own grammar system. In Japan, a unique sign language called Japanese sign language is used, which has its own grammatical system different from that of Japanese as a spoken language. On the other hand, due to the limited number of people with normal hearing who have learned sign language, communication between people with hearing impairment and people with normal hearing is conducted through written or oral communication. Both of these communication methods cause stress for both the hearing-impaired and the hearing-impaired, or one of them. There are limited situations in which a sign language interpreter can intervene, and there are also situations in which it is difficult for the sign interpreter to intervene due to privacy issues. For these backgrounds, various research has been conducted for many years on the reading of signs by machines (sign language recognition and translation) and the generation of signs (sign language synthesis). In this talk, the author will discuss the fundamental characteristics of sign languages, as well as the trends and future prospects of research on sign language recognition and translation technologies. |
