According to WHO[1], it is estimated that by 2050 1 in every 10 people will
have disabling hearing loss.
That’s 10% or 700 million people of the world’s population
In Lebanon, this data projection
means that around half a million will
be impacted.
‫ن‬ : Notation
Deaf and other individuals, such as those
unable to physically speak, those who have
trouble with oral language due to a
disability or condition, face difficulties..
At home:
• Communication Challenges:
Lebanese deaf people (LDP)
struggle to communicate at
home due to family
members' limited sign
language skills or lack of
access to assistive devices.
In education:
• Educational Accessibility:
In a recent study done on a
sample of LDF, only 7% are
bachelor’s degree holders
with only 1% holding a
doctorate degree.
At the workplace:
• Discrimination:
For the LDP, the Lebanese
society did not treat them
well: they were stigmatized,
shamed, bullied, avoided,
neglected and treated with
pity in 62% of the cases,
while only 38% considered
they were well treated.
In social life:
• Lack of sign language
interpretes:
60% of the Lebanese Deaf
report that such service is
unavailable, whereas 40%
report its availability with a
70% rate of service
satisfaction.
Solution
• Existing solutions for American Sign Language
(ASL):
• Video Relay Services (VRS): Enables sign language communication via
video technology.
• ASL Apps and Online Resources: Offer tutorials and dictionaries for ASL
learning.
• Text-to-Sign Software: Translates written text into ASL signs.
• Wearable Devices: Translate sign language gestures into text or speech
for accessibility.
Solution
• Absence of solutions for Lebanese Sign
Language
(LSL):
• Limited References: Insufficient documentation and references hinder
the study and preservation of Lebanese Sign Language (LSL).
• Gesture Databases Needed: The absence of comprehensive databases
for LSL gestures restricts research and technological development.
• Technology based tools: The lack of tailored technological tools for LSL
creates barriers to communication and accessibility for the deaf
community.
Solution
• Using Technology as a Bridge
• Bridging Communication Gaps:
- Technology connects deaf individuals.
- Enhances accessibility and understanding.
• Importance of LSL Model:
- Essential for documenting and preserving LSL.
- Facilitates study and cultural preservation.
Solution
1) Dataset Creation for LSL:
• Overview:
- Gather video recordings of LSL gestures and conversations.
- Transcribe and annotate gestures, expressions, and context.
- Ensure diversity and representativeness across speakers and
scenarios.
Solution
2) Model Development:
• Introduction to Model Architecture:
- Utilizes deep learning algorithms for gesture recognition.
- Incorporates convolutional and recurrent neural networks.
• Importance of Accuracy:
- Accurate recognition vital for effective communication.
- Ensures accessibility and understanding for deaf individuals.
Solution
3) Model Application in Workplaces and Social
Life:
• Application Areas:
- Utilized in job interviews, meetings, social gatherings, events, and
online platforms..
• Benefits:
- Improves workplace inclusion by facilitating communication for
deaf employees.
- Enhances social interactions and participation in diverse social
settings.
• Example:
- Integration into platforms like Instagram Stories as an LSL
Conclusions
Impact of Technology:
- Breaks barriers for the deaf community, enabling equal
participation.
- Facilitates education, employment, and social interactions.
• Project Highlights:
- Leveraged Tensorflow and Keras to build an LSTM Sign Language
Detection Model.
- Successfully detects three gestures of three different colors.
- A significant step towards advancing accessible communication
technology.
Let’s watch a demo.
