A German Sign Language Corpus of the Domain Weather Report
Proceedings of the Fifth International Conference on Language Resources and Evaluation (LREC 2006)
Abstract
All systems for automatic sign language translation and recognition, in particular statistical systems, rely on adequately sized corpora. For this purpose, we created the Phoenix corpus that is based on German television weather reports translated into German Sign Language. It comes with a rich annotation of the video data, a bilingual text-based sentence corpus and a monolingual German corpus.
