BanglaBook: A Large-scale Bangla Dataset for Sentiment Analysis from Book Reviews

Understand

The analysis of consumer sentiment, as expressed through reviews, can provide a wealth of insight regarding the quality of a product.

• While the study of sentiment analysis has been widely explored in many popular languages, relatively less attention has been given to the Bangla language, mostly due to a lack of relevant data and cross-domain adaptability.
• To address this limitation, we present BanglaBook, a large-scale dataset of Bangla book reviews consisting of 158,065 samples classified into three broad categories: positive, negative, and neutral.
• We provide a detailed statistical analysis of the dataset and employ a range of machine learning models to establish baselines including SVM, LSTM, and Bangla-BERT.
