Correlation-based subset evaluation of feature selection for dynamic Malaysian sign language

Sign language is used for communication to the deaf and speech impaired. For communication between the common man and the deaf, sign language interpreter is needed for understanding natural language and vice versa.

Computer science Sign language is used for communication to the deaf and speech impaired. For communication between the common man and the deaf, sign language interpreter is needed for understanding natural language and vice versa. Sign Language Recognition (SLR) aims to translate sign language into text so that the communication between the deaf and the general public can be done comfortably. Research in Sign Language Recognition (SLR) has been widely done by researchers from many various countries using different datasets.

The process of data model extraction will be more difficult if the information held is irrelevant or contains redundancies, or if the data obtained contains high noise.
