Summary and Rephrasing:
Nvidia, in collaboration with the American Society for Deaf Children and creative agency Hello Monday, has launched an AI platform called “Signs” to teach American Sign Language (ASL), the third most common language in the United States. The platform aims to bridge communication gaps between deaf and hearing communities by providing interactive learning tools and an open-source dataset. “Signs” allows learners to practice signs with the help of a 3D avatar and analyze their movements via webcam for real-time feedback, while signers can contribute by recording words to expand the dataset, targeting 400,000 video clips for 1,000 words. Validated by ASL experts for accuracy, the platform supports language education for families and individuals, with Nvidia planning to leverage the data to develop inclusive AI technologies. The project is evolving to include facial expressions and regional variations, and the dataset will be made publicly available later this year.
