AI4KSL - Bridging Language Barrier using Artificial Intelligence for Kenyan Sign Language among Deaf Learners Workshop

The AI4KSL project is in the final stages of developing an Assistive Artificial Intelligence technology for Kenyan Sign Language that translates spoken English to Kenyan Sign Language (KSL) for deaf people with visual representation using virtual signing characters. The AI4KSL innovation will be tested on graduate teacher trainees specializing in sign language and deaf students in Kenyan learning institutions and it has the potential to break language barriers, increase learning outputs and inclusion; improve bilingual proficiency.

The AI4KSL project is led by a team of researchers from Maseno University and is cohosted by the departments of Computer Science, Special Needs Education and Education Communication Technology & Curriculum Studies from Maseno University
