Research
Progress includes what failed.
The research program tests public recognition candidates, locks evaluation sets before scoring, preserves near-misses, and refuses to convert fluent output into evidence of correct ASL meaning.
06 / Evidence discipline
A rejected model can still teach us where the next useful signal may live.
Recognition
Independent evidence before integration.
Continuous-ASL translation, isolated-sign specialists, fingerspelling, pose cues, and compound candidates are evaluated against fixed evidence and claim-specific gates.
Assurance
Calibration matters more than raw confidence.
A recognizer confidence score is not treated as student safety. The product needs held-out evidence showing when to allow flow, when to ask, and when to abstain.
Learning
Train, evaluate, promote—or reject.
The governed learning loop has been demonstrated with synthetic text repair assets. It is offline, versioned, revocation-aware, and not evidence that visual ASL recognition improves.
