A HamNoSys-Guided Dataset and Baselines for Fine-Grained Isolated Handshape Recognition in Sign Language

Aug 11, 2026

This study addresses the lack of large-scale, language-agnostic, fine-grained visual datasets for sign language recognition that support signer-aware evaluation. To bridge this gap, the authors construct a balanced dataset based on the Hamburg Notation System (HamNoSys 4), comprising 144,000 RGB images contributed by 15 signers across 160 handshape classes. They introduce, for the first time, a dual evaluation protocol incorporating both signer-dependent and leave-one-signer-out (LOSO) settings, and establish reproducible benchmarks using diverse models—including ResNet-18, ViT-B/16, graph convolutional networks, and XGBoost. Experiments on the ASL Fingerspelling Dataset A achieve Top-1 accuracy of 82.20%–87.40% under the LOSO protocol, while also revealing a significant performance drop in cross-signer generalization, highlighting a critical challenge in real-world deployment.

A Word-Level Digital Reader of the Prasthanatrayi with Sankara's Bhasya: Corpus, Method, and an Open, Offline Reading Aid for the Advaita Vedanta Canon

Jul 08, 2026

This study addresses word-level readability barriers in the *Triple Canon* and Śaṅkara’s commentary—arising from sandhi, compound formation, and dense scholarly prose—by presenting the first offline, open-source, word-level interactive reading system covering the complete text. The system integrates a rule-based sandhi splitter, an inflectional lexicon, corpus-based lookup tables, and a large language model, enhanced by an adversarial two-pass validation protocol and a human-in-the-loop correction mechanism. It encompasses 13 commentary units, 36,881 root-text tokens, and 95,587 surface forms from the commentary, achieving over 99% agreement with authoritative dictionaries at high-confidence analysis levels. This substantially enhances the readability and searchability of Sanskrit philosophical texts.
