Simultaneous Translation between Sign Languages
Deaf and hard-of-hearing (DHH) signers cannot converse in real time across different sign languages today: existing sign-to-sign translation systems run offline, requiring the full source clip before any target sign is emitted. Live use cases - e.g. broadcast interpretation and two-way video calls - instead demand simultaneous output, while the source signer is still signing. We present, to our knowledge, the first simultaneous sign-to-sign (S2S) translation system, with two wait-k regimes: test-time wait-k inference applied directly to a full-sentence model, and a trained wait-k model via stochastic multi-path supervision. We further introduce ca-Stream-AL, a computation-aware latency me...
