Aspect based sentiment analysis datasets for Bangla textMendeley Data

Sentiment analysis is becoming rapidly important for exploring social media Bangla text. The lack of sufficient resources is considered to be an important challenge for Aspect Based Sentiment Analysis (ABSA) of the Bangla language. The ABSA is a technique that divides the text and defines its sentiment based on its aspects. In this paper, we developed a high-quality Bangla ABSA annotated dataset namely BANGLA_ABSA. The datasets are labelled with aspects category and their respective sentiment polarity to do the ABSA task in Bangla. Four open domains namely Restaurant, Movie, Mobile phone, and Car are considered to make the dataset. The datasets are called Restaurant_ABSA, Movie_ABSA, Mobile_phone_ABSA, and Car_ABSA respectively that contain 801, 800, 975, and 1149 comments. All the comments are either complex or compound sentences. We created the dataset manually and annotated the same by exerting opinions. We organized the dataset as three tuples in Excel format namely 〈Id, Comment, {Aspect category, Sentiment Polarity}〉. These data are very important that facilitate the efficient handling of sentiment for any machine learning and deep learning research, especially for Bangla text.
