<DIV><FONT face=Arial
size=2> thanks, I'm
trying to see if I can get a prediction system going based on the categories of
sign that a user may use. I'm assuming that due to the fact that sign
language is a language made up of physical movement that their may be some
trends that are based on the motions of sign language as well as the meaning of
an utterance. Meaning that due to the end position of a sign I can reduce
the database of signs by some degree based on predicting the start
position of the next sign. This can be at some abstract level but I
believe that due to the natural physical flow of sign language that
physical trends are present. This I believe could be a source of
information for a sign writing prediction system.............</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Not yet, that I know of. We have
pieces of a Portuguese/Libras dictionary available, and Valerie has about 1600
signs in her Sign Bank, but a definitive list is not yet
posted.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The Libras dictionary has about 700 signs in it,
at least in part. It's in a specific categorization of the Sign Symbol
Sequence based on the handshapes of Libras. </FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3>Hello
List<BR>
I was wondering is there a place were I can access an =<BR>extensive list of
signs with their detailed sign spelling. Organised =<BR>into sign
categories based on the dominant sign of the sign spelling. =<BR>It
doesn't matter which sign language as long as I have an English =<BR>meaning
of the sign... If anybody has a listing it would be very much
=<BR>appreciated. <BR><BR>Thanks!!<BR><BR>Tony!!</FONT><BR></FONT></DIV></BLOCKQUOTE></BLOCKQUOTE></BODY></HTML>
