BOBSL (BBC-Oxford British Sign Language)
BOBSL is a large-scale dataset of British Sign Language (BSL). It comprises 1,962 episodes (approximately 1,400 hours) of BSL-interpreted BBC broadcast footage accompanied by written English subtitles. From horror, period and medical dramas, history, nature and science documentaries, sitcoms, children’s shows and programs covering cooking, beauty, business and travel, BOBSL covers a wide range of topics. The dataset features a total of 39 signers. Distinct signers appear in the training, validation and test sets for signer-independent evaluation.
