Abstract

In this work, the recent additions to the RWTH-Phoenix corpus, a data collection of interpreted news announcement, are analysed. The corpus features videos, gloss annotation of German Sign Language and transcriptions of spoken German. The annotation procedure is reported, and the corpus statistics are discussed. We present automatic machine translation results for both directions, and discuss syntactically motivated enhancements.
