SignSparK Data
Prebuilt LMDB datasets for SignSparK: Efficient Multilingual Sign Language Production via Sparse Keyframe Learning (ECCV 2026). Contains SMPL-X 6D pose features, spoken-language translations, glosses, and per-frame segment annotations for CSL-Daily and How2Sign, ready to train/sample with the SignSparK code.

Each .lmdb holds one __meta__ key (clip index) plus one in-memory .npz
blob per clip with: language, translation, gloss, segment (per-frame
{0,1,2}), and left/right/body/face_features (6D rotations). Full schema in the
repo's DATA.md.
