The dataset comprises over 1,000 hours of videos featuring live hand sign translations, accompanied by text transcripts from Thai parliamentary meetings. The data can be accessed at kaggle link here

Dataset Generation

A total of 153 live videos were downloaded from the TPchannel. These videos were streamed between August 18, 2024, and June 4, 2023. The transcripts were automatically generated using YouTube's subtitle algorithm. The videos were then post-processed by trimming and cropping, focusing only on segments where the sign language interpreter is detected.

Data Structure

no_labels_video/

This directory contains the full videos that could not be processed for transcription. These videos are unedited due to the inability to fetch accurate transcripts.

process_videos/

This directory contains the processed videos where transcripts are available.

detection_results.csv

This file provides the detection results for the sign language interpreter:

second : The time index in seconds.
cls: The classification result, where -1 means the sign language interpreter is not detected, and 0 indicates that the interpreter is detected.
x, y, w, and h: The coordinates (x, y) and dimensions (width, height) of the bounding box where the sign language interpreter is detected. A value of -1 indicates the interpreter is not found.

transcript_window_{window_id}.csv

This file contains the text transcript for each window segment:

text: The text transcript of the video.
start: The timestamp (in seconds) indicating when the text starts relative to the original video.
duration: The duration (in seconds) of the transcript.
relative_strart: The timestamp (in seconds) indicating when the text starts relative to process_video_{window_id}.mp4.

transcript.json

This file contains the text transcript for the entire video:

text: The text transcript of the video.
start: The timestamp (in seconds) indicating when the text starts.
duration: The duration (in seconds) of the transcript.

process_video_{window_id}.mp4

The video segments where the sign language interpreters are performing.
