The AT4SSL workshop aims to open a (guided) discussion between participant s about current challenges, innovations and future developments related to the automatic translation between sign and spoken languages.

Two ty pes of submissions are going to be accepted for th e AT4SSL workshop: Research, review, position and application papers (4-8 pages) and Extended abstra cts presenting original, ongoing work or innovativ e ideas (4 pages).

Machine T ranslation (MT) is a core technique for reducing l anguage barriers for spoken languages. Although MT has come a long way since its inception in the 19 50s, it still has a long way to go to successfully cater to all communication needs and users. When it comes to the deaf and hard of hearing communiti es, MT is in its infancy. The complexity of the ta sk to automatically translate between SLs or sign and spoken languages, requires a multidisciplinary approach.

\n

The rapid technological and m ethodological advances in deep learning, and in AI in general, that we see in the last decade, have not only improved MT, recognition of image, video and audio signals, the understanding of language, the synthesis of life-like 3D avatars, etc., but h ave also led to the fusion of interdisciplinary re search innovations that lays the foundation of aut omated translation services between sign and spoke n languages.

The AT4SSL workshop aims to open a (guided) dis cussion between participants about current challen ges, innovations and future developments related t o the automatic translation between sign and spoke n languages. To this extent, AT4SSL will host a mo derated round table around the following three top ics: (i) quality of recognition and synthesis mode ls and user-expectations; (ii) co-creation - deaf, hearing and hard-of-hearing people joining forces towards a common goal and (iii) sign-to-spoken an d spoken-to-sign translation technology in media.< /span>

Submissions related to the workshop topics are sollicited. Howeve r, submissions related to the general topic of aut omatic translation between signed and spoken langu ages that deviate from these topics are also welco me.

Two types of submissions are going t o be accepted for the AT4SSL workshop: Research, r eview, position and application papers (4-8 pages) and Extended abstracts presenting original, ongoi ng work or innovative ideas (4 pages). Both papers should be formatted according to the official EAM T 2023 style templates. Accepted papers and extend ed abstracts will be published in the EAMT 2023 pr oceedings and will be presented at the conference.
