Design of a neural transformer for Spanish to Mexican Sign Language automatic translation/interpretation.

This paper uses a multi-head neural transformer to present the text-to-text translation/interpretation of Sign Language (SL) in the context of glosses (written SL). A Spanish to Mexican Sign Language (MSL) gloss dataset was built based on simple and compound sentences and the corresponding interpretation in MSL gloss. The interpretation process was achieved by implementing state-of-the-art tools in the natural language processing (NLP) field called neural transformers.
