CARE: National Center for Sign Language and Gesture Resources (collaborative proposal)

宾夕法尼亚大学和波士顿大学正在合作建立和维护手语和手势研究资源。 该项目的目标是提供几种不同类型的实验资源和分析数据，以促进对手语和口语手势成分的语言学和计算研究。 该项目的活动包括： * 将建立一个收集录像语文数据的设施，配备同步的 数码相机来捕捉对象的多个视图。 * 美国手语视频数据的大量语料库将从本地签名者那里收集并制作 有压缩和未压缩两种形式。 * 所收集数据的重要部分将作语言说明。 语言数据库 注释将与访问数据库所需的应用程序一起沿着公开提供。 * 视频数据将使用基于计算机的算法进行分析，分析和软件将公开 available.因此，该项目提供了收集数据的先进设施、收集数据的标准协议和大量语言数据。 该项目中语言和计算专业知识的结合将确保数据收集的科学完整性，并将为各个领域的研究人员提供有用的数据。

The University of Pennsylvania and Boston University are collaborating on the establishment and maintenance of resources for research in sign language and gesture. The goal of this project is to make available several different types of experimental resources and analyzed data to facilitate linguistic and computational research on signed languages and the gestural components of spoken languages. Activities in the project include the following: * A facility for collection of video-based language data will be established, equipped with synchronized digital cameras to capture multiple views of the subject. * A substantial corpus of American Sign Language video data will be collected from native signers and made available in both compressed and uncompressed forms. * Significant portions of the colleted data will be linguistically annotated. The database of linguistic annotations will be made publicly available, along with the applications needed to access the database. * Video data will be analyzed using computer-based algorithms, wtih analysis and software made publicly available. Thus the project makes available sophisticated facilities for data collection, a standard protocol for such collection, and large amounts of language data. The combination of linguistic and computational expertise in this project will ensure scientific integrity of data collection, and will result in useful data for researchers in a variety of fields.
