TABLE 2.

Most discriminant paths for three Auslan signs. The decoding algorithm of Section 5 returns the most discriminant paths which are readily interpretable and can thus be used to understand a problem or, in this case, teach sign language to novice.

Sign	Most discriminant paths
Cold	(right hand moves up) meets (right pitch increases) before (right roll does not change) (right hand moves up) meets (right pitch increases) before (right yaw does not change) (right hand moves to right) meets (right hand moves up) meets (right pitch decreases)
Different	(left hand roll still) during (right hand roll increases) meets (right hand does not move in depth) (left hand roll still) equals (left little finger bend does not change) meets (right hand roll increases) (left hand yaw still) during (left little finger bend does not change) meets (right hand roll increases)
Danger	(right hand moves up) meets (right pitch increases) before (right hand still about y) (right hand moves down) meets (right pitch decreases) before (right hand still in y) (right hand moves up) meets (right pitch increases) before (right thumb bend does not change)
