Abstract: Considering the differences in grammar and language structure between hearing-impaired and able-bodied people, this paper designs a sign language order converter based on attention mechanism to realize the conversion of sign language order to written expression. In the encoding stage, the word order converter uses bidirectional long short-term memory (LSTM) to extract the features of the sign language order, and in the decoding stage, it uses one-dimensional convolution to extract the features of the hidden state of the encoder. In addition, the attention mechanism is used to avoid the long-distance dependency problem, so as to obtain the written expression. The results show that the highest accuracy of the word order converter is 92.64%.
