81
+ ## Dataset Summary
82
+
83
+ The **Bangla Article Stance Detection Benchmark Dataset** is a comprehensive resource for detecting political bias and stance in Bengali (Bangla) news articles. This dataset features human-annotated labels for stance detection, enabling researchers to train and evaluate models for identifying political bias in Bengali journalism.
84
+
85
+ This dataset is part of the research paper **"Read Between the Lines: A Benchmark for Uncovering Political Bias in Bangla News Articles"** (Accepted to BLP at AACL 2025).
