EASIER project

EC Reviewers: “Technologies should never be developed without the heavy involvement of end users, and we want to congratulate the EASIER consortium for engaging the deaf community in every step of the project.” Learn more about our Final Project Review👇 project-easier.eu/news/2024/03/0…

EASIER has concluded but its impact goes far beyond the project lifespan.   Several project outputs have been spotlighted by the @EU_Commission Innovation Radar as key innovations with significant market potential. Learn more👇 project-easier.eu/news/2024/09/1…   #H2020

The summary of project results is now available in IS! youtube.com/watch?v=IaBxlN…

@EASIERproject @EU_Commission Will you post results online?

The time has come - we'll now present the final project results to the @EU_Commission.

@EUD_Brussels @DavyVL @EU_Commission Davy's presentation was warmly received by the Project Officer and Reviewers who greatly appreciated the work on the end user involvement front, congratulating @EUD_Brussels for their great work within EASIER.

EUD Project Officer, @DavyVL, is currently in Hamburg to present the final results of EUD’s work in the @EASIERproject to the @EU_Commission 🇩🇪🇪🇺🙌🏾

Last project call before we take a break from the hustle and bustle of our everyday working schedules and shut down our devices to go enjoy the company of family and friends. 🎄The EASIER team wishes you a safe and joyful holiday season and a happy and productive 2024!

Check out the highlights from the EASIER-SignON concertation event “Outcomes and outlooks of Research on Sign Language Technology in Europe”

👉 Davy Van Landuyt, EUD Project Officer, dives into the crucial topic of user engagement in Sign Language Technology. Empowering Deaf individuals through technology! #EASIERSignON

👋 Wrapping up an incredible day of insights at the Concertation Event on Sign Language Research in Europe! Thanks to all participants for this insightful event! Diving deep into outcomes and future outlooks, we're committed to an inclusive and connected world. Stay tuned!

Thanks to all the participants for today. It was a pleasure to discuss "Outcomes and Outlooks of Research on Sign Language Technology in Europe" with all of you. @SignONEU @COST_CA19142 @EU_Commission @EUD_Brussels

Thanks to @FrankiePicron from @EUD_Brussels for closing today's event, and to all of the presenters for sharing their knowledge, expertise, and perspectives on the future of sign language technology and research. We will share a summary of the event soon.

This demo allows to create or edit diagrams that are designed to be human-readable and to automatically produce their corresponding SL animations.

Today we discuss Data and Other Challenges with Caro Brosens, @SignONEU Project Member. It is key to invest in high quality data and better technological environments to process this data so we can use it! @COST_CA19142 @EU_Commission @EUD_Brussels

'The data bottleneck in sign language research is often reduced to “there is not enough data” but the situation is a lot more nuanced than that' - Caro Brosens (@VGTCentrum) explains the challenges with sign language data.

SignON's Scientific Coordinator @DShterionov explains the different steps and technologies involved in automatically translating between sign languages and spoken/written languages - the Sign Language Machine Translation (SLMT) pipeline.

"Minority languages remain disconnected from technology, with major impact on inclusion.’" Eleni Efthymiou, EASIER Scientific Coordinator presents "Sign Language and Sign Language processing technologies" @SignONEU @COST_CA19142 @EU_Commission @EUD_Brussels

Krishna Chandramouli, WG3 Leader of @COST_CA19142 stressed how the persistence to keep investing and the belief that inclusive technology needs to improve can be a major driving force to keep pursuing a path leading to a better society. @SignONEU @EU_Commission @EUD_Brussels

"We need to standardise the way we collect and analyse data. When we collaborate, we move forward faster". Dimitar Shterionov @DShterionov, @SignONEU Scientific Coordinator @COST_CA19142 @EU_Commission @EUD_Brussels
