Researchers have introduced BanglaRhet, a new benchmark dataset designed to evaluate models for detecting rhetorical and persuasive language in Bangla political speeches. The dataset comprises over 30,000 annotated speech segments, enabling two classification tasks: identifying rhetorical techniques and persuasion strategies. Experiments showed that BanglaBERT achieved the highest performance, significantly outperforming classical TF-IDF baselines and highlighting challenges such as semantic overlap and class imbalance.
