Integrating Deep Learning and Computer Vision for Recognizing American Sign Language
Abstract: The only way the hearing-impaired community can exchange ideas is by utilizing non-verbal communication. The main challenge, however, is that the non-impaired community, which may not comprehend non-verbal communication, would struggle to communicate effectively with this group, and vice versa. The project is purposely devised to admit unwilling and dumb societies to transport ideas and connect with the organization. It aims to bridge the gap between the hearing- and speech-impaired …
