Today's session covered Studio / ASL Gen AI Research, sign/sd-controlnet-mediapipe (logged), Ralph's Goal: ControlNet for ASL Gen AI Video. Here's a summary of what was accomplished and what's still in progress.

• URL: https://huggingface.co/sign/sd-controlnet-mediapipe
• What it is: ControlNet weights on SD v1.5, conditioned on MediaPipe face/hand landmarks
• Designed for: Sign language pose conditioning — generates images following landmark pose data
• NOT useful for: Face swapping or avatar identity transfer
• Potentially useful for: MapleSign — controlling ASL hand/body pose in generated images
• Needs a ControlNet specifically suited to generating ASL signing videos
