摘要
Sign language production (SLP) aims to generate continuous signing motion from spoken language, often through gloss-to-pose generation. Prior work mainly follows two paradigms. Generative models synthesize motion from a learned prior or from noise, without reference to an observed signing instance, making rare hand configurations and signer-specific articulation difficult to preserve. Retrieval-based methods reuse real, well-articulated motion segments, but concatenating segments from different signers and co-articulation contexts can introduce rhythm and style inconsistencies across the full sequence, not only at segment boundaries. These limitations suggest a complementary solution: use retrieval to provide realistic articulation, and use learned refinement to impose the global coherence that retrieval alone lacks. We therefore propose retrieve-and-refine, a paradigm that starts from real retrieved motion and refines it into a globally coherent signing sequence rather than generating motion from scratch. Our framework, SignRR, initializes motion from a dictionary of real sign segments and refines the full sequence with a part-aware Residual VQ-VAE, where residual quantization preserves fine hand articulation and temporal length differences are handled in the latent space. Experiments on PHOENIX14T and CSL-Daily show that SignRR achieves state-of-the-art back-translation performance while maintaining competitive pose quality.
