The prelude to our series of international guest lectures was provided on 06.05.2020 by Maren Brumm and Manolis Fragkiadakis in the form of live lectures via online video conference. Two interpreters interpreted from English into the DGS and vice versa.
Mr. Manolis Fragkiadakis, from Leiden University (NL), spoke about "Tools for sign language corpora and dictionaries".
Mrs. Maren Brumm, University of Hamburg, IDGS, gave her lecture on "Automatic Mouth Gesture Classification".
About 45 students and staff members of the IDGS gained a very good insight into the presented research results in the field of computational linguistics. Fortunately, the technology played along excellently, so that everyone was able to take the opportunity for subsequent discussion.
Many thanks to the two speakers and all those present!
