Abstract:Simultaneous Sign Language Translation (SLT) is critical for real-time communication, yet existing methods remain largely confined to sentence-level, offline settings that assume pre-segmented inputs. These assumptions hinder deployment in realistic scenarios involving continuous, unsegmented video streams. We present ReSCUE, a unified framework for simultaneous SLT on unsegmented long-form sign language videos that aligns training and inference with realistic streaming conditions. ReSCUE combines inference-aware training to handle partial inputs, non-signing pauses, and multi-sentence contexts, stabilized re-translation to enable low-latency yet revisable predictions with reduced output flicker, and a sentence commitment mechanism for online segmentation and memory management. Experiments on standard sentence-level benchmarks show that ReSCUE achieves lower latency and the best translation quality under low-latency settings. On long-form unsegmented datasets, ReSCUE approaches the translation quality of oracle offline systems that use ground-truth sentence boundaries, while operating at substantially lower latency, demonstrating its practicality for real-world streaming scenarios.
