  This is a [FiftyOne](https://github.com/voxel51/fiftyone) dataset with 11980
  samples.


  ## Installation


  If you haven't already, install FiftyOne:


  ```bash

  pip install -U fiftyone

  ```


  ## Usage


  ```python

  import fiftyone as fo

  import fiftyone.utils.huggingface as fouh


  # Load the dataset

  # Note: other available arguments include 'max_samples', etc

  dataset = fouh.load_from_hub("Voxel51/WLASL")


  # Launch the App

  session = fo.launch_app(dataset)

This is a [FiftyOne](https://github.com/voxel51/fiftyone) video dataset with 11980 samples.

## Installation

If you haven't already, install FiftyOne:

```bash
pip install -U fiftyone
```

## Usage

```python
import fiftyone as fo
import fiftyone.utils.huggingface as fouh

## Dataset Details

### Dataset Description

WLASL is the largest video dataset for Word-Level American Sign Language (ASL) recognition, which features 2,000 common different words in ASL. The authors hope WLASL will facilitate the research in sign language understanding and eventually benefit the communication between deaf and hearing communities.
