We Built Sign Language AI for a Language With Almost No Dataset. Here's What That Actually Looks Like.

This article details the development of OmniSign, a real-time Lebanese Sign Language (LSL) translator, addressing the challenges of building AI for a language with an almost non-existent dataset. The author emphasizes that the hardest problems encountered were not technical but human. The inspiration came from witnessing communication difficulties between a deaf man and a barista in Beirut.

Length Value Model: Scalable Value Pretraining for Token-Level Length Modeling

This paper introduces the Length Value Model (LenVM), a novel token-level framework for modeling the remaining generation length in autoregressive models. By formulating length modeling as a value estimation problem, LenVM provides an annotation-free, scalable, and effective signal for LLMs and VLMs, improving performance on exact length matching tasks.

Intelligent CCTV for Urban Design: AI-Based Analysis of Soft Infrastructure at Intersections

This study introduces an AI-enabled analytics framework using existing CCTV infrastructure to evaluate the impact of soft urban interventions on vehicle speed and safety at intersections. Findings from Minneapolis reveal that these interventions significantly reduced vehicle speeds and pass-through traffic at both unsignalized and signalized intersections.

Hoeffding Concept Bottleneck Models with Applications to Overhead Images

Hoeffding Concept Bottleneck Models (HCBM) are introduced to offer non-linear and sparse aggregations of concept scores, enhancing the explainability and accuracy of deep learning predictions. This method leverages Hoeffding functional decomposition of gradient-boosted trees to overcome the limitations of existing linear CBMs, which suffer from a large number of concepts and potential information leakage.
