A new survey paper published on arXiv details the current landscape of sign language datasets, highlighting significant challenges in their development and utilization. The paper identifies fragmented datasets, inconsistent annotations, and limited linguistic coverage as major hurdles in advancing sign language recognition and translation technologies. To address these issues, the authors have compiled a comprehensive index of 120 resources across 35 sign languages and introduced a standardized 24-field Sign-Language Datasheet, along with a public GitHub repository to promote reproducible evaluation and inclusive technology development.
