BTSD: A curated transformation of sentence dataset for text classification in Bangla language

The Bangla Transformation of Sentence Classification dataset addresses the resource gap in natural language processing (NLP) for the Bangla language by providing a curated resource for Bangla sentence classification. With 3,793 annotated sentences, the dataset focuses on categorizing Bangla sentences into Simple, Complex, and Compound classes. It serves as a benchmark for evaluating NLP models on Bangla sentence classification, promoting linguistic diversity and inclusive language models. Collected from publicly accessible Facebook pages, the dataset ensures balanced representation across the categories. Preprocessing steps, including anonymization and duplicate removal, were applied. Three native Bangla speakers independently assessed the Transformation of Sentence labels, enhancing the dataset's reliability. The dataset empowers researchers, practitioners, and developers to build accurate and robust NLP models tailored to the Bangla language. It offers insights into Bangla syntax and structure, benefiting linguistic research. The dataset can be used to train models, uncover patterns in Bangla language usage, and develop effective NLP applications across domains.
