ChatDEAF ISL Gesture Dataset

The ChatDEAF ISL Gesture Dataset is a reference collection of International Sign Language (ISL) gestures. It includes images, gesture labels, and written descriptions designed to support AI models in accessibility, sign recognition, and gesture-text classification.

Contents

  • 18 sample ISL gestures
  • English word labels
  • Gesture descriptions
  • Image file references

Purpose

This dataset supports accessibility research and aims to enhance multimodal AI systems (like GPT-4) in understanding visual sign languages.

License

This dataset is released under the CC BY 4.0 license.

ChatDEAF ISL Gesture Dataset

This is the first public dataset of International Sign Language (ISL) gestures created as part of the ChatDEAF Project. The dataset is intended to support multimodal AI models and improve accessibility in communication for the global deaf community.

Dataset Details

  • Total Samples: 18 labeled ISL gesture entries
  • Fields:
    • Word: English meaning of the gesture
    • ISL Sign Description: Text description of the sign gesture
    • Image: Corresponding photo or image file (to be expanded in future versions)

License

CC-BY-4.0 — This dataset is open for academic, research, and responsible AI usage with proper attribution.

Purpose

This dataset supports gesture recognition training, sign language understanding models, and accessibility technology research. It's a foundational step in training AI to understand international sign language.

Future Plans

  • Expand to 100+ ISL gestures
  • Add Turkish Sign Language (TİD) support
  • Create a HuggingFace Space demo for live ISL gesture recognition
