New Sinhala dataset launched for Aspect-Based Sentiment Analysis

Researchers have introduced SalAngaBhava, a new dataset designed for Aspect-Based Sentiment Analysis (ABSA) in Sinhala, a low-resource language spoken primarily in Sri Lanka. This dataset comprises Sinhala product reviews that have been manually annotated with specific aspect terms and their corresponding sentiments (positive, negative, or neutral). The creation of SalAngaBhava aims to address the scarcity of such resources for low-resource languages, enabling further research and development in Sinhala natural language processing and sentiment analysis.
