  "summary": "Deaf and hard-of-hearing people in Bangladesh communicate mainly through Bangla Sign Language (BdSL). Automatic BdSL recognition on personal devices could widen access to education and services. Existing systems use controlled-setting datasets without expert verification and heavyweight pretrained backbones unsuited to on-device use. We introduce RSBdSL38, 10,874 expert-validated images spanning…",
