This repo isn't software code, so code checks are limited.

Caution

Caution: no human commits in a year.

Why

No human commits since September 2024. The repository holds mostly documentation, data or model files, so inactivity matters less than for a code library. (source 1, source 2, source 3, source 4)
One person wrote 77% of human commits in the last year, and no human has committed in the last 90 days. The repository holds mostly documentation, data or model files, so inactivity matters less than for a code library. (source 1, source 2)
GitHub found no license file, so the content is not clearly licensed for reuse. (source 1)

What would change this

A release or merged commit from a maintainer.
A human commit in the last 90 days, or a second person taking a large share of commits.
A license file is added.
