Recent methods have made notable progress in accelerating Large Vision-Language Models (LVLMs) by exploiting the inherent redundancy in visual inputs. Most existing approaches, however, focus narrowly on reducing image tokens before or within the Large Language Model (LLM) stage to lower computation…
Sign Language Video Generation (SLVG) aims to transform sign language sequences into natural and fluent sign language videos. Existing SLVG methods lack geometric modeling of human anatomical structures, leading to anatomically implausible and temporally inconsistent generation. To address these cha…
Pretrained large-scale vision-language models such as CLIP have demonstrated excellent generalizability over a series of downstream tasks. However, they are sensitive to the variation of input text prompts and need a selection of prompt templates to achieve satisfactory performance. Recently, variou…
Skeleton-aware sign language recognition (SLR) has gained popularity due to its ability to remain unaffected by background information and its lower computational requirements. Current methods utilize spatial graph modules and temporal modules to capture spatial and temporal features, respectively.…
Human body trajectories are a salient cue to identify actions in video. Such body trajectories are mainly conveyed by hands and face across consecutive frames in sign language. However, current methods in continuous sign language recognition(CSLR) usually process frames independently to capture fram…
Hand and face play an important role in expressing sign language. Their features are usually especially leveraged to improve system performance. However, to effectively extract visual representations and capture trajectories for hands and face, previous methods always come at high computations with…
"Pooling methods are necessities for modern neural networks for increasing receptive fields and lowering down computational costs. However, commonly used hand-crafted pooling approaches, e.g. max pooling and average pooling, may not well preserve discriminative features. While many researchers have…
Sign Language Recognition (SLR) translates sign language video into natural language. In practice, sign language video, owning a large number of redundant frames, is necessary to be selected the essential. However, unlike common video that describes actions, sign language video is characterized as c…
