Question - Sign Language Datasets
Thanks, Quentin, I think a `requirements.txt` per dataset will be a good thing.
I will work on adding this dataset next week, and once we sort all of the kinks, I'll add more.
An emerging field in NLP is SLP - sign language processing.

I was wondering about adding datasets here, specifically because it's shaping up to be large and easily usable.
The metrics for sign language to text translation are the same.

So, what do you think about (me, or others) adding datasets here?


An example dataset would be [RWTH-PHOENIX-Weather 2014 T](https://www-i6.informatik.rwth-aachen.de/~koller/RWTH-PHOENIX-2014-T/)
For every item in the dataset, the data object includes:
1. video_path - path to mp4 file
2. pose_path - a path to `.pose` file with human pose landmarks
3. openpose_path - a path to a `.json` file with human pose landmarks
4. gloss - string
5. text - string
6. video_metadata - height, width, frames, framerate


------

To make it a tad more complicated - what if sign language libraries add requirements to `nlp`? for example, sign language is commonly annotated using `ilex`, `eaf`, or `srt` files, which are all loadable as text, but there is no reason for the dataset to parse that file by itself, if libraries exist to do so.
