In a world where communication is key to human connection, understanding, and learning from one another, the book investigates the rich and intricate world of sign languages, highlighting the fascinating complexities of visual-spatial languages and their unique role in bridging the gap between hearing and deaf communities through information and communication technology. The book takes a journey through the evolution of sign language processing tools while exploring the cutting-edge techniques used to decipher, analyze, and process them, from the fundamentals of sign language structure and the nuances of non-manual signals to the latest developments in computational linguistics (corpora design, annotation tools, and notation systems), sign language recognition, and machine/deep learning applications. The book’s central focus is sign language processing, covering a range of topics, including natural language processing, gesture recognition, motion tracking technologies, and Machine Learning approaches. The challenges and limitations inherent in these fields are discussed, offering a balanced and informed perspective on the current state of sign language processing technology. With a mission to reveal the silent language of expression, the author provides a captivating and thought-provoking look into a world often overlooked yet teeming with life and meaning. Offering a comprehensive and engaging overview of the current state of sign language research as well as its prospects, this monograph is an introduction resource for Computer Scientists, linguistics, educators, academics and sign language interpreters alike.
