Focus Sign-language processing across recognition, translation, synthesis, retrieval, pose, and deployment. |
Style Minimal filler, clear task boundaries, and tables that are ready for fast curation. |
Goal Make the list feel like a working index for researchers and builders rather than a static catalog. |
| Signal | Meaning | What to add later |
|---|---|---|
| Task | The core problem the resource solves | Recognition, translation, synthesis, retrieval, or tooling |
| Modality | The input or output form | Video, pose, text, gloss, avatar, or multimodal |
| Maturity | How ready the resource is | Paper, code, dataset, benchmark, demo, or product |
| Rule | Why it exists |
|---|---|
| Keep one resource per row | Makes scanning and updates faster |
| Group by task first | Sign-language work is task-driven, not name-driven |
| Keep titles short | Prevents the page from becoming noisy |
