Jester (Gesture Recognition)

archive 2025-07-28

Jester Gesture Recognition dataset includes 148,092 labeled video clips of humans performing basic, pre-defined hand gestures in front of a laptop camera or webcam. It is designed for training machine learning models to recognize human hand gestures like sliding two fingers down, swiping left or right and drumming fingers.

Papers archive 2025-07-28

16 shown of 16 papers with a leaderboard row on this dataset's benchmarks, newest first. The archive's own "papers using this dataset" list was never published, so this is the benchmark-backed subset; the archive's count for this dataset is 16. The Syntology column is from Syntology's graph (read 2026-09-24), stated per sample; it is not part of any archive number.
