Description

Andrés Felipe Flórez-Sierra and co-authors present LSC50, a data set of Colombian Sign Language recordings, in a 2024 paper. Colombia counts more than half a million people with disabling hearing loss but only about 400 professional interpreters nationwide. The team recorded native and non-native signers performing items from the sign lexicon. Each recording pairs video with motion data from wearable inertial sensors.

The set also includes body landmarks picked out of the video and computed joint angles for the arms and wrists. Nothing like it existed before for this language. The authors built it to help create tools that read and translate signing, which could lower the barriers between deaf and hearing people. They frame the release as a step toward social inclusion and equity in Colombia.
