## Adding a Dataset
- **Name:** *KanHope*
- **Description:** *A code-mixed English-Kannada dataset for Hope speech detection*
- **Paper:** *https://arxiv.org/abs/2108.04616* (I am the author of the paper}
- **Author:** *[AdeepH](https://github.com/adeepH)*
- **Data:** *https://github.com/adeepH/KanHope/tree/main/dataset*
- **Motivation:** *The dataset is amongst the very few resources available for code-mixed Dravidian languages*

- I tried following the steps as per the instructions. However, could not resolve an error. Any help would be appreciated.

- The dataset card and the scripts for the dataset *https://github.com/adeepH/datasets/tree/multilingual-hope-speech/datasets/mhs_eval*

Comments:
Hi ! In your script it looks like you're trying to load the dataset `bn_hate_speech,`, not KanHope.

Moreover the error `KeyError: ' '` means that you have a feature of type ClassLabel, but for a certain example of the dataset, it looks like the label is empty (it's just a string with a space). Can you make sure that the data don't have missing labels, and that your dataset script parses the labels correctly ?
