Partners: Collaborative Efforts: Collaboration with CESAR [2], a research and development
organization, enhances the solution's development and deployment. Partnering with CESAR
provides access to expertise and resources necessary for refining the solution and addressing 11 - Lenovo
specific challenges associated with communication barriers for the hearing impaired.

UN Goals: This use case aligns with several UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) to
create a more inclusive and equitable society:

• SDG 3: Good Health and Well-being: By providing a reliable translation tool, individuals
with hearing impairments can access healthcare services more effectively, ensuring better
diagnosis and treatment.
• SDG 4: Quality Education: Integration of the solution into the education system facilitates
learning for individuals using sign language and accelerates the learning curve for those
unfamiliar with Libras, promoting inclusive education.
• SDG 8: Decent Work and Economic Growth: The solution fosters inclusivity in the
workforce by providing communication tools for individuals with hearing impairments,
promoting economic growth through expanded opportunities for employment.
• SDG 9: Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure: Innovative solutions like the sign language
translation tool contribute to advancing technology and infrastructure, enabling more
accessible communication for marginalized communities.
• SDG 10: Reduced Inequality: By breaking down communication barriers, the solution
reduces inequality for individuals with hearing impairments, fostering social inclusion and
participation.
• SDG 12: Responsible Consumption and Production: Access to accurate communication
tools empowers individuals to make informed decisions about products and services,
promoting responsible consumption and production practices.

11�2�2� Future work

Proof of concept development, Model development, Create new variations/extensions to the
same use case Elaborate proposal: as the goal is to expand the solution for a global application
and proficient translators on different languages to do accuracy checks of the AI engine, we
should partner with other R&D organizations across the world to allow other sign language
standards to be developed, and also learn together how to improve our own solution to make
it better and better to the Deaf community I do not wish to receive any additional invitations
to AI for Good sessions in the future.

11�3� Use case requirements

• REQ-01: It is critical that the solution enables seamless translation from sign language
(Libras) to Brazilian text and audio, and vice versa, using avatars.
• REQ-02: It is critical that the solution utilizes a classifier model and digital avatars to
facilitate accurate translation and communication.
• REQ-03: It is critical that the solution has access to private data, including vectors from
individuals using Libras, with approximately 23K hours of data.
• REQ-04: It is critical that the solution utilizes GPU resources for efficient processing of
data and model training.
• REQ-05: It is critical that the solution incorporates metadata such as articulation points,
movements, and vectors to enhance the accuracy of translation.
