Abstract

In the past decade, sign language research has achieved remarkable results alongside the advancements in deep learning. However, there is a disconnect between the outcomes of these research efforts and the actual use of sign language by signers. In this position paper, we reviewed sign language papers related to deep learning published in the last ten years to explore reasons for this gap. We found many areas of research that are still underdeveloped, despite their linguistic importance. Based on an analysis of known corpora and methodologies, we identified the reasons for the lack of progress in these areas and propose directions for future research efforts.
