Sign-Language Datasets at Scale: A Comprehensive Survey on Resources, Benchmarks, and Annotation Standards

Sign-Language Datasets at Scale: A Comprehensive Survey on Resources, Benchmarks, and Annotation Standards

Short summary

Comprehensive survey of 120 sign-language datasets across 35 languages identifies critical gaps in annotation standardization and signer representation. Introduces a 24-field datasheet framework and public GitHub repository for standardized documentation. Provides foundational infrastructure for developing inclusive, production-ready sign-language AI systems.

  • •Systematic analysis of 120 sign-language datasets across 35 languages reveals annotation inconsistency and signer bias challenges
  • •Proposes standardized 24-field Sign-Language Datasheet framework for consistent, reproducible dataset documentation
  • •Releases open GitHub repository to support robust, scalable sign-language AI development for real-world applications

Generated with AI, which can make mistakes.
