Bangla NLP Catalog
A machine-readable catalog of Bangla (Bengali) NLP resources: 813 papers, 63 datasets, 20 models, and 9 tools across 26 tasks, each tagged by task and carrying a source link.
This is the data behind BanglaNLP Hub. It is metadata about resources, not the resources themselves: no corpora or model weights are redistributed here, only structured records pointing at them.
Why this exists
Bangla is spoken by roughly 240 million people and is still treated as low-resource in practice, largely because the work that does exist is scattered across venues, personal pages, and dead links. This catalog is an attempt to make it countable and searchable, so that a researcher can see what already exists before rebuilding it.
Configs
from datasets import load_dataset
papers = load_dataset("kishormorol/bangla-nlp-catalog", "papers", split="train")
datasets_ = load_dataset("kishormorol/bangla-nlp-catalog", "datasets", split="train")How it is maintained
Entries are added and corrected through pull requests on the GitHub repo, where links are checked in CI. This dataset is a snapshot of that catalog; the repo is the source of truth.
Limitations
Coverage is best for tasks with active published work (classification, MT, NER, QA) and thinner elsewhere. license fields reflect what the source stated at the time of entry and should be re-checked before you rely on them. Corrections are welcome as PRs or as a discussion here.
