Greek Sign Language (GSL) content recording

The video recording of the GSL training set of questions has been completed. The set includes 355 questions for the 10 exhibits considered in the project. Each question was signed by 9 signers, 5 of whom were native and 4 experienced SL users/interpreters. The recording was carried out in a specially configured area at the SPC Lab/CEID, University of Patras. At the next stage, the training set will be annotated at both sentence and gloss levels, and the recording of GSL content for the exhibit-related material (exhibit introduction the and answers to the recorded questions) will take place.
