Abstract
The context is Sign Language modelling for synthesis with 3d virtual signers as output. Sign languages convey multi-linear information, hence allow for many synchronisation patterns between the articulators of the body. Addressing the problem that current models usually at best only cover one type of those patterns, and in the wake of the recent description model Zebedee, we introduce the Azalee extension, made to enable the description of any type of synchronisation in Sign Language.
