Selected projects
Beyond BLEU: A Case for Redefining Sign Language Translation Benchmarks
Evaluation study across six SLT systems on Phoenix-2014T and CSL-Daily, showing that gains in BLEU-4 are not on their own evidence of better sign understanding, with an open-weight-LLM QA protocol that scores salient content preservation instead.
What's the Point? Spatial Grammar & Index Resolution for Sign Language Processing
Modular framework for spatial indexing in BSL: a pose-based index detector combined with an online entity memory that substantially improves pointing-sign recovery in CSLR without retraining the backbone.
SignGPT
A UKRI EPSRC Programme Grant (University of Surrey, Oxford, UCL) building generative transformers for bidirectional BSL–English translation, combining computer vision, sign linguistics, and machine learning to model the full structure of signed communication.
- Seeing Space
Seeing Space — Directional Verbs and Topographic Placement
Computational toolkit for spatial and productive constructions in sign languages: directional verb detection with grammatical-person labelling and a learned pose-based placement module for pronominal indexing.

NGT200: Geometric Multi-View Isolated Sign Recognition
Multi-view benchmark for pose-based isolated sign recognition of Sign Language of the Netherlands (NGT). SE(2)-equivariant Temporal-PONITA improves recognition by 8–22% over the SL-GCN baseline.
3D-LEX v1.0: 3D Lexicons for ASL and NGT
High-resolution motion capture dataset of 2,000 signs across ASL and Sign Language of the Netherlands, with semi-automatic phonetic annotation that matches or exceeds expert accuracy.
- SE(3)
SE(3)-Equivariant Neural Rendering
Equivariant neural rendering builds on geometric deep learning, computer vision and representation theory; a critical component is the scene representation.
Indoor Scene Generation using Point-E and Training-Free Layout Control
A framework extending point cloud diffusion models to generate indoor scenes directly from text prompts.
