Title: CNSL-bench: Benchmarking the Sign Language Understanding Capabilities of MLLMs on Chinese National Sign Language

Abstract:
arXiv:2604.22367v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Sign language research has achieved significant progress due to the advances in large language models (LLMs). However, the intrinsic ability of LLMs to understand sign language, especially in multimodal contexts, remains underexplored. To address this limitation, we introduce CNSL-bench, the first comprehensive Chinese em{National Sign Language benchmark designed for evaluating multimodal large language models (MLLMs) in sign language understandi
