To do this, Cano has trained the AI with a large number of images for a small number of words.<\/p>\n<p>This is an incipient project whose development will consist of compiling videos of Spanish-sign-language interpreters with which to continue training the neural network until it learns to translate any conversation in real time. This is an application that is already being developed at an international level, although it is not yet available in Spanish. The aim would be to integrate it into existing videoconferencing and virtual meeting systems on the market.<\/p>\n<p>Original news on UC website: <span style=\"color: #3366ff\"><a style=\"color:
