| ## Description | |
| **BAAD16** is an **Authorship Attribution dataset for Bengali Literature**. It was collected and analyzed by the authors of [this paper](https://arxiv.org/abs/2001.05316). It was created by scraping text from an online Bangla e-library using custom web crawler and contains literary works of various famous Bangla writers. It contains novels, stories, series, and other works of 16 authors. Each sample document is created with 750 words. The dataset is imbalanced and resembles real-world scenarios more closely, where not all the authors will have a large number of sample texts. The following table gives more details about the dataset. | |
