| # BEAT2 Official Release + Additional Annotations |
|
|
| This is a fork of [`H-Liu1997/BEAT2`](https://huggingface.co/datasets/H-Liu1997/BEAT2) |
| that adds annotations contributed by the |
| [**RAG-Gesture**](https://vcai.mpi-inf.mpg.de/projects/RAG-Gesture/) (CVPR 2025) |
| and [**MIBURI**](https://vcai.mpi-inf.mpg.de/projects/MIBURI/) (CVPR 2026) projects. |
| The base BEAT2-English data (motion, audio, TextGrids, semantic labels, |
| pretrained motion-autoencoder weights) is inherited verbatim from upstream; |
| the additional annotations from RAG-Gesture and MIBURI are pushed on top. |
|

|
| ## Contents |
|
|
| Original BEAT2-English dataset (inherited from upstream `H-Liu1997/BEAT2`): |
|
|
| - `smplxflame_30/` — SMPL-X body + FLAME expressions at 30 fps |
| - `textgrid/` — phoneme + word TextGrid alignments |
| - `wave16k/` — 16 kHz mono audio |
| - emotion label |
| - `sem/` — semantic annotation |
| - `weights/` — pretrained CNN-based motion autoencoders for BEAT (used by the FGD metric) |
|
|
| New data annotations by the RAG-Gesture & MIBURI projects (pushed in this fork): |
|
|
| - `discourse_rels/` — discourse relations (RAG-Gesture) |
| - `prom/` — prominence values (RAG-Gesture) |
| - `smplxflame_25/` — 25 fps version of the 30 fps SMPL-X + FLAME body (MIBURI) |
| - `whisper_transcription/` — Whisper transcripts that recover casing and |
| punctuation that the upstream TextGrid normalization removed (MIBURI) |

|
| ## Missing Data |
|
|
| These takes are missing from the original BEAT2-English release; the fork |
| inherits that gap: |
