Exploiting signed TV broadcasts for automatic learning of British Sign Language by Buehler, P, Everingham, M, Zisserman, A

“…In this work, we will present several contributions towards automatic recognition of BSL signs from continuous signing video sequences. Specifically, we will address 3 main points: (i) automatic detection and tracking of the hands using a generative model of the image; (ii) automatic learning of signs from TV broadcasts of single signers, using only the supervisory information available from subtitles; and (iii) discriminative signer-independent sign recognition using automatically extracted training data from a single signer. …”

Reactivating and reorganizing activity-silent working memory: two distinct mechanisms underlying pinging the brain by Yang, C, He, X, Cai, Y

“…Recent studies have proposed that visual information in working memory (WM) can be maintained in an activity-silent state and reactivated by task-irrelevant high-contrast visual impulses (“ping”). Although pinging the brain has become a popular tool for exploring activity-silent WM, its underlying mechanisms remain unclear. …”
