About

What is Signs?

Signs is an innovative platform designed to facilitate learning and contribution to American Sign Language (ASL) using artificial intelligence. Learners can dive into ASL basics and receive real-time feedback via a 3D avatar, making the learning process interactive and engaging. The platform also allows users to record and contribute ASL signs, helping to build the world's largest open dataset of ASL videos. This collaborative ecosystem, supported by NVIDIA and American Society for Deaf Children, aims to expand ASL resources, improve AI understanding of ASL, and ultimately bridge communication gaps for the Deaf community. It focuses primarily on hand and finger positions, with future plans to incorporate non-manual signals.

Best used for

Ideal for individuals new to ASL who need to learn foundational signs with interactive AI guidance, experienced signers who want to contribute to a global ASL dataset, and educators seeking resources to teach ASL. Especially valuable for fostering a collaborative ecosystem that supports both learners and the Deaf community.

FAQs

What is the primary goal of the Signs platform?

The primary goal of Signs is to enable individuals to learn American Sign Language (ASL) through interactive AI and to build the world's largest open dataset of ASL videos. This initiative aims to support the Deaf community by making ASL learning more accessible and by fostering the development of accessible AI technologies.

Who are the main partners behind the Signs project?

Signs is a collaborative project led by NVIDIA, which is responsible for data collection and control. The American Society for Deaf Children provides guidance and expertise, while Hello Monday/DEPT® is responsible for designing, developing, and maintaining the platform itself.

How is the accuracy of contributed ASL signs verified?

Each ASL sign submission undergoes a rigorous verification process. Deaf individuals and certified interpreters review the recordings to ensure that the hand and finger positions, as well as their movements, are accurate and proficient according to established ASL standards.

Does Signs collect non-manual signals like facial expressions?

Currently, the dataset primarily focuses on accurately capturing hand and finger positions for each sign. While non-manual signals are crucial in ASL, the platform is exploring future iterations to incorporate these elements using technologies like face tracking or other motion-capture methods.

When will the ASL dataset collected by Signs be released?

The Signs project began releasing its ASL dataset in 2025. Interested parties can apply for access to the dataset through the platform. The goal is to make this dataset publicly and broadly available to enable third-parties to develop accessible applications for the Deaf community.
