Meeting Description:
The theme of this workshop is "les méthodologies de recherche impliquant des
outils de mesure articulatoire dans la description et l'analyse des langues des
signes" (Research methodologies which involve motion capture systems in the
description and analysis of sign languages).Though the expansion of techniques
of articulatory imaging allows the use of motion capture systems for the
description of sign languages, their use is not yet widespread and there are no
standards used across the field.
This workshop offers a forum in which participants can present and compare their
research protocols and methodologies for collecting and analyzing data.
Participants will also show results gathered from the use of motion capture
systems. With this workshop, we wish to encourage the presentation of various
methodological and theoretical issues which have not been considered in the
literature on sign language processing and/or on the description of sign languages.
The TALS workshop will be divided into three blocks. The first block will
include four talks. The second block will be reserved for demonstrations and
posters. Finally, the third block will consist of a group problem solving
session concluding with a round table discussion. This last block aims to
stimulate debates and discussions among researchers.
Themes (non-exhaustive)
- Generation of sign languages
- Development of linguistic applications for sign language processing
- Modeling
- Sign recognition
- Corpus annotation
