Research And Implementation On Translation Between Chinese And Sign Language

This paper focuses on the characteristics of two different style of linguistic: Chineseand sign language, and explained with the knowledge of linguistics. In addition, this paperexplores the correspondence between English and sign language as well as the realizationform based on Chinese theoretical basis, the research results can be convenient for peopleto learn and know sign language, and can be widely applied in the field of translation insign language, and promote us to cognition and study the natural language.From the perspective of linguistics, the "basic word" of Chinese is Chinese characters.Chinese Sign Language also has the concept of “basic word”, but the “Chinese SignLanguage dictionary” uses vocabulary as the unit to describe Sign Language. No mentionthe word formation of sign language by “basic word”. In order to find the word formationrules in sign language vocabulary, this paper measure the relationship between the signlanguage vocabulary and basic word by DTW algorithm, and proposed the idea of signlanguage vocabulary encoding. Then the sign language vocabulary is expressed as acombination of the “basic words”. In terms of Chinese information processing, the key ofthe computer understand the meaning of a sentence is whether it could be segmentedcorrectly. And understanding the meaning of the sentence is the presupposition of translatedsentence. So in the process of translation of sign language, it is necessary to carry outChinese sentence segmentation processing. Chinese word segmentation methods presentlyused to roughly divided into three: based on the maximum matching method, statisticalmethod based on the large-scale corpus, and the method based on understanding. Throughto the research of these three segmentation methods, this article summarizes the advantagesand disadvantages of each method. In order to give full play to the advantages of varioussegmentation methods, For Chinese word segmentation processing this article adopts thedouble hash dictionary and combined with improved forward matching algorithm, at thesame time, Judge sentence while exist of "overlapping ambiguity," and the segmentationalgorithm using the Word omni-segmentation algorithm and statistical method to deal withthe overlapped ambiguity, For the sentence if there is a combination ambiguoussegmentation, this paper proposes a statistical method to find the overlapped ambiguity inChinese words’ segmentation and solve it by DSM algorithm.Combining with the previous study of sign language and Chinese, this paper improves the traditional Chinese treatment method, and studies the language rule of sign language,and the conversion of Chinese language to sign language. This paper realized the functionof translation between Chinese and Chinese Sign Language by computer itself, reaching therequirement of the software design specification.
