Abstract
Datasets for hand gesture recognition are now an important aspect of machine learning. Many datasets have been created for machine learning purposes. Some of the notable datasets include Modified National Institute of Standards and Technology (MNIST) dataset, Common Objects in Context (COCO) dataset, Canadian Institute For Advanced Research (CIFAR-10) dataset, LeNet-5, AlexNet, GoogLeNet, The American Sign Language Lexicon Video Dataset and 2D Static Hand Gesture Colour Image Dataset for ASL Gestures. However, there is no dataset for Kenya Sign language (KSL). This paper proposes the creation of a KSL hand gesture recognition dataset. The dataset is intended to be in two-fold. One for static hand gestures, and one for dynamic hand gestures. With respect to dynamic hand gestures short videos of the KSL alphabet a to z and numbers 0 to 10 will be considered. Likewise, for the static gestures KSL alphabet a to z will be considered. It is anticipated that this dataset will be vital in creation of sign language hand gesture recognition systems not only for Kenya sign language but of other sign languages as well. This will be possible because of learning transfer ability when implementing sign language systems using neural network models.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
