Bangla Hate Speech Extended Dataset

📖 Overview

This dataset is an expanded version of the original Bengali Hate Speech Dataset created by Hriteshwar Talukder and Md Saiful Islam.

The original dataset provided a strong foundation for hate speech detection in the Bengali language. In this extended version, the dataset has been:

• Expanded in size with ~5000 additional Bengali social media comments.
• Reclassified with fine-grained categories, including: Insult, Violence, Sexual, Racism, Religious, and No Hate.

This makes the dataset suitable for multi-label hate speech detection research.
