It's not only humans that can learn from watching television. Software developed in the UK has worked out the basics of sign language by absorbing TV shows that are both subtitled and signed.
Patrick Buehler and Andrew Zisserman at the University of Oxford, along with Mark Everingham at the University of Leeds set out to see if software that can already interpret the typed word could learn sign language from video footage.
