Guidelines for Data Annotation with Gesture Examples

Kate Mesh provides a coding manual and supplementary examples of gesture forms in still images and video recordings. The materials informed the coding work of the first author and four project reliability coders. The dataset was last updated on March 18, 2024.

Use Cases

• Training annotators for gesture classification based on the provided coding manual.
• Developing consistency benchmarks for gesture coding based on the reliability coder framework.
• Creating synthetic or augmented gesture datasets based on the example forms in images and videos.

Strengths

• Includes a structured coding manual, which suggests formalized annotation rules.
• Provides multimodal examples in both still images and video recordings.
• Informed the work of multiple coders, suggesting potential for inter-rater reliability assessment.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
