Workshop Description Many interpreters receive the results of their performance interpreting test and it mentions the need to work on classifiers in their ASL product. This workshop focuses on building a visual representation with the use of classifiers.

The workshop is an interactive workshop with a focus on application that enables the participants to get instant feedback on their products.
