Educational Bangla Text Dataset

This specialised dataset has been created to advance Bangla language processing, serving as a cornerstone for developing an effective Bangla Question-Answering system with a strong emphasis on customisation. It comprises approximately 3,000 meticulously curated question-and-answer pairs, painstakingly selected by human annotators guided by NCTB textbooks from classes six to ten. Each passage in the dataset, averaging 387 words, offers rich context for meaningful question answering. Human annotators diligently collected responses for various question types, ensuring the dataset's reliability and relevance in Bangla. This dataset forms the foundation for a precision-driven, context-aware Bangla question-answering system, acting as a vital resource for researchers and developers working to enhance Bangla language processing capabilities.

The dataset is provided in CSV file format. It consists of approximately 3,000 question-and-answer pairs. The dataset is organised into training and validation subsets, seamlessly integrating multiple passages with their corresponding questions and annotated answers. Specific numbers for rows or records are not detailed, but each passage typically averages 387 words.

This dataset is ideal for developing proficient Bangla question-answering systems. It can be used by researchers and developers aiming to enhance Bangla language processing capabilities, particularly for tasks such as Natural Language Processing, Answer Extraction, Reading Comprehension, and Text Processing.

The dataset's scope is global. It is derived from NCTB textbooks for classes six to ten, focusing on content relevant to Bangla language education. Specific notes on data availability for certain groups or years are not available.
