There are over 300 sign languages in the world, many of which have very limited or no labelled sign-to-text datasets. To address low-resource data scenarios, self-supervised pretraining and multilingual finetuning have been shown to be effective in natural language and speech processing. In this work, we apply these ideas to sign language recognition.We make three contributions.- First, we release SignCorpus, a large pretraining dataset on sign languages comprising about 4.6K hours of signing data across 10 sign languages. SignCorpus is curated from sign language videos on the internet, filtered for data quality, and converted into sequences of pose keypoints thereby removing all personal identifiable information (PII).-

"The greatest danger in times of turbulence is not the turbulence itself, but to act with yesterday's logic."1 We live in uncertain times. While the acronym VUCA (for our'Volatile, Uncertain, Complex, and Ambiguous' world) may have originated from military minds in the post-Cold War period, the eagerness and ease with which the business world has adopted it to describe today's global economy is striking.2 It's estimated that as many as half of the world's CEOs now view uncertainty as the single biggest external threat to their business.3 The only way to find answers to the uncertainty we anticipate and the change that we fear is to ask the right questions.
