Outline of Final Research Achievements

This project aimed at the establishment of information acquisition assistive technology for the hearing impaired based on the methods of data engineering. Specifically, a crowdsourcing-based system for captioning of sign language by the hearing impaired was developed, including the discussion on the system structure, the analysis on the necessary setting for achieving a practical level of captioning, and the construction of a prototype. Moreover, a Web advertising method was discussed for developing the information recommendation technology for the hearing impaired. The work led to 3 journal papers, 17 conference papers and 1 book chapter paper.
