title = "American Sign Language Translation: An Approach Combining MoViNets and T5"

description =   """
This application hosts a model for translation of American Sign Language (ASL). 
The model comprises of a fine-tuned MoViNet CNN model to generate video embeddings and a T5 encoder-decoder model 
to generate translations from the video embeddings. This model architecture achieves a BLEU score of 1.98 
and an average cosine similarity score of 0.21 when trained and evaluated on the YouTube-ASL dataset. 
More information about the model training and instructions to download the models 
can be found in our <a href=https://github.com/deanna-emery/ASL-Translator>GitHub repository</a>.
You can also find a overview of the project approach 
<a href=https://www.ischool.berkeley.edu/projects/2023/signsense-american-sign-language-translation>here</a>.

A limitation of this architecture is the size of the MoViNets model, making it especially slow during inference on a CPU. 
We do not recommend uploading videos longer than 4 seconds as the video embedding generation may take some time. 
The application does not accept videos that are longer than 10 seconds.
We have provided some pre-cached videos with their original captions and translations as examples.
