American Sign Language, the preferred language of the Deaf community in the USA is its own language; complete with a rich collection of grammatical features. The DePaul University team has been working on an automatic English/ASL translator implemented as a 3D avatar in order to facilitate better communication between hearing and deaf people. Animations suffered from various timing inconsistencies and were awkward in appearance. This project attempts to address them by using corpus analysis to discern subtle features of ASL in order to improve the coarticulation model in the avatar.
