D2.3 REPORT ON AVATAR REPRESENTATION

This report describes three new standards for avatar representation, supporting affect-augmented sign language representations. The standards propose formats for the output of automatic translation and can serve as the basis for post-editing systems. In addition to a novel method for specifying affect, the salient features of the standards are the representation of co-occurring processes in sign languages including their timing and coordination. The affect augmentations consist of emotive elements of communication. The report presents a set of edge/corner cases to test an avatar’s ability to synthesize sign language. These test cases will be published as a Signing Avatar Challenge Dataset to promote future avatar development.
