The AT4SSL workshop aims to open a (guided) discussion between participants about current challenges, innovations and future developments related to the automatic translation between sign and spoken languages. To this extent, AT4SSL will host a moderated round table around the following three topics: (i) quality of recognition and synthesis models and user-expectations; (ii) co-creation - deaf, hearing and hard-of-hearing people joining forces towards a common goal and (iii) sign-to-spoken and spoken-to-sign translation technology in media.
The second edition of the AT4SSL aims to be a venue for presenting and discussing (complete, ongoing or future) research on automatic translation between sign and spoken languages and bring together researchers, practitioners, interpreters and innovators working in related fields.
This year, AT4SSL is co-located with EAMT2023.
AT4SSL is jointly organised by the SignON and EASIER projects.
