They thought that one might be able to make out words from the spoken language of the Autobots if they had a degree in theoretical physics.and were tripping on bad acid. These "languages" include:Īs they fled from the Ark, the crew members of the vessel Ghost 1 were able to pick up the transmissions from the Autobots.

Sign Language Translation (SLT) first uses a Sign Language Recognition (SLR) system to extract sign language glosses from videos.Over the years, multiple substituion cypher alphabets have been created by fans and professionals to represent the languages of Cybertron, often used to hide coded messages in media. Then, a translation system generates spoken language translations from the sign language glosses. Though SLT has gathered interest recently, little study has been performed on the translation system. This paper focuses on the translation system and improves performance by utilizing Transformer networks. We report a wide range of experimental results for various Transformer setups and introduce the use of Spatial-Temporal Multi-Cue (STMC) networks in an end-to-end SLT system with Transformer. We perform experiments on RWTH-PHOENIX-Weather 2014T, a challenging SLT benchmark dataset of German sign language, and ASLG-PC12, a dataset involving American Sign Language (ASL) recently used in gloss-to-text translation. Our methodology improves on the current state-of-the-art by over 5 and 7 points respectively in BLEU-4 score on ground truth glosses and by using an STMC network to predict glosses of the RWTH-PHOENIX-Weather 2014T dataset. On the ASLG-PC12 corpus, we report an improvement of over 16 points in BLEU-4. Our findings also demonstrate that end-to-end translation on predicted glosses provides even better performance than translation on ground truth glosses.
