手语谱写共融乐章
香港科技大学(科大)计算器科学及工程学系副教授麦鉴荣指出,最近一项调查显示香港约有五万名全聋或听障人士。然而,这个社群所获的支持仍然不足。
麦教授解释:「香港的专业手语翻译员人数偏低,现时只有约54名。」
为解决上述问题,科大计算器科学及工程学系应届毕业生黎家伟、梁铭方及翁伟超,决定在毕业专题习作中运用于科大所学的知识,为听障人士开发一个应用程序,用户只要把中文句子输入手机,便可翻译成手语示范录像。
麦教授认为这个程序对手语翻译员的训练很有帮助,也方便市民大众与听障人士沟通。他表示:「科大一向热衷回馈社会,这个项目就是一个好例子。」在开发过程中,同学面对的最大挑战之一是手语的句式与中文不同。黎家伟指出:「手语中的形容词、副词、数目和发问词一般置于名词后面,而中文一般是置于名词前面。」
为解决上述难题,团队设计了一个配合手语语法的句子拆解算法。翁伟超解释:「我们使用FFmpeg软件进行录像合成,将各手语片段整合,形成完整句子。」由于梁铭方懂得手语,自然便担任了手语录像的主角。梁铭方表示:「我在半年内为超过1,700个手语字词拍摄录像,给我带来难忘的经验。」

Let’s Have a Tea Party!
Recent news covered Chris Ko from the class of 2017 about her vegetarian tea cafe in Tsim Sha Tsui, and how she made good use of every skill she learnt from HKUST’s EVMT program to realize her dream. “When I chose to apply to the Environmental Management and Technology (EVMT) program, I thought I would be learning about a wide range of environmental issues and their solutions,” said Chris. “But what’s more, I discovered what I wanted to do, and the program helped me achieved my goals.” EVMT offers students a unique opportunity to grasp scientific and technological concepts and translate them into practice-based and sustainable business ideas. The intense, cross disciplinary program only admits 15 students every year, making it one of the most competitive degree programs in Hong Kong. “Many people still think that going ‘green’ loses money,” said Chris.
