It is the basis for all human interactions. It is how people pass on inf ormation to other people and receive information from them. A person with a speaking or hearing problem cannot communicate properly with others. A p erson who is deaf or dumb usually uses Sign Language to communicate with o thers. But normal people who do not know Sign language cannot communicate with them properly. Most people find it difficult to apprehend ISL gesture s. This has created a communication gap between the hearing and speech imp aired and those who do not understand ISL. Translation systems are require d to help bridge the gap between the hearing- and speech-impaired communit y and the general population. The Talk focuses on developing an end-to-end system that is capable of recognizing the spoken language and interpretin g the corresponding speech to animated sign language gestures and that is also capable of converting Indian Sign Language to speech. The talk also f ocuses on automatic extraction of emotions since emotions play a crucial r ole in human-to-human and human-to-machine interactions and that is import ant for both fair and good decisions.\n\nBioData: Dr. K.
