When adding a dataset, follow the following steps. This pull request provides an example:

• Fork the repo
• sync forks
• git checkout master

• New branch: dataset/something
• Create a JSON along the lines of the schema below. e.g. FOO.json
• Add the JSON to src/datasets. e.g. src/datasets/FOO.json
• Add BibTex to src/references.bib.
  • prepend the citation key with dataset. e.g. dataset:sehyr2021asl
  • "language" field should not need "sign language". No need to say "American Sign Language", "American" will do.
  • Very concise "samples" field, the table does not have a lot of space to display it.
