In this paper, we introduce metric learning into Sign Language Recognition(SLR) for the first time and propose a signer adaption framework to address signer-independent SLR. For adapting the general model to the new signer, both clustering and manifold constraints are considered in the adaptive distance metric optimization. The contribution of our work mainly lies in three-folds. Firstly, a Weakly Supervised Metric Learning(WSML) framework is proposed, which combines the clustering and manifold constraints simultaneously. Secondly, the general framework is applied to signer adaptation and achieves good performance. Thirdly, a fragment based feature is designed for sign language representation and the effectiveness is verified in large vocabulary datasets. Our proposed WSML framework can be decomposed into two key steps. The first one is to learn a generic metric from the given labeled data. Then the second step is to realize the distance metric adaptation by considering the clustering and manifold constraints with the unlabeled data. To learn a generic distance metric, the labeled data are used under clustering assumption with classical large margin hinge loss. Specifically, the distances between data points within the same cluster(with same label) should be minimized and the distances between data points from different clusters(with different labels) should be maximized. Here we define the index set with same labels as Sg = {(i, j)|yi = y j,xi,x j ∈ Xl} and the index triplet Bg = {(i, j,k)|yi = y j,yi 6= yk,xi,x j,xk ∈ Xl}. The objective function is |
