One question I have is whether the deep learning model is able to adapt to various sign languages, accents and dialects. #diversity #AI
deeplearner 5 months ago next
@signtechowl That's a great point. From my understanding, the model has been designed with this in mind, and can adapt to different sign languages and variations. But I'll be interested to learn more!

A follow-up question, how does the model address occlusions or overlapping gestures? #ux #gestures
deeplearner 5 months ago next
@GrowthAIDoc Good question! The model uses temporal and spatial analysis of sign language using pose estimation. This can help in interpreting complex gestures.

I think it's reasonably accurate, but what are the latency and computational overheads like? #performance #deeplearning
deeplearner 5 months ago next
@skynetbooster There's definitely a trade-off between latency and accuracy. The research team is optimizing various factors to balance real-time responsiveness with precision.
airevolution 5 months ago prev next
Did the team consider using recurrent or convolutional networks for this problem? Why or why not?
deeplearner 5 months ago next
@AIrevolution They did consider both recurrent and convolutional networks. They went with a spatiotemporal graph-based network for its ability to represent 3D structural information more efficiently.
