Dear fellow kagglers,
\nIf you are reading this, chances are you are interested in machine learning and sign language. If you want to submit a paper on your work on this competition, there is an upcoming special session at the ESANN 2023 conference devoted to Machine Learning applied to Sign Language. The deadline for submission is May 2nd, 2023 (the same day as the deadline of this competition).
\nFeel free to contact us if you have questions or want more information.

\nCall for papers: special session on \"Machine Learning Applied to Sign Language\" at ESANN 2023
\nEuropean Symposium on Artificial Neural Networks, Computational Intelligence and
\nMachine Learning (ESANN 2023). 4-5 October 2023, Bruges, Belgium. http://www.esann.org
DESCRIPTION:
\nDeep learning has led to spectacular advances in many fields dealing with unstructured data such as computer vision, natural language processing, and data generation. Recently, sign languages have drawn the attention of machine learning practitioners as sign language recognition, translation, and synthesis raise interesting technical challenges and have a clear societal impact. The overarching domain of sign language processing is related to computer vision, natural language processing, computer graphics, and human-computer interaction. It brings together computer scientists and linguists to tackle interdisciplinary problems. This special session aims to highlight recent advances made in sign language recognition, translation, and synthesis, as well as new datasets.
\nTopics of interest include, but are not limited to:
All papers will be submitted to a peer review process. Accepted papers will be presented as either talks or posters, in order to favour interaction with the ESANN attendees. There is no difference in quality between talks and posters and all papers will be published in the conference proceedings. At least one author is expected to register for the conference and pay the registration fee.
\nSUBMISSION:
\nProspective authors must submit their paper through the ESANN portal following the instructions provided on https://www.esann.org/node/6. Author guidelines are available on https://www.esann.org/author_guidelines. Each paper will undergo a peer reviewing process for its acceptance. Authors should send an e-mail with the tentative title of their contribution to the special session organizers as soon as possible.
IMPORTANT DATES:
\nPaper submission deadline: 2 May 2023
\nNotification of acceptance: 16 June 2023
\nThe ESANN 2023 conference: 4-5 October 2023
