### Dataset Summary

We present BanglaParaphrase, a high quality synthetic Bangla paraphrase dataset containing about 466k paraphrase pairs. 
The paraphrases ensures high quality by being semantically coherent and syntactically diverse.

### Supported Tasks and Leaderboards

[More information needed](https://github.com/csebuetnlp/banglaparaphrase)

### Languages

-  `bengali`


## Loading the dataset
```python
from datasets import load_dataset

from datasets import load_dataset

ds = load_dataset("csebuetnlp/BanglaParaphrase")
```

## Dataset Structure

### Data Instances

One example from the `train` part of the dataset is given below in JSON format. 
```
{
"source": "বেশিরভাগ সময় প্রকৃতির দয়ার ওপরেই বেঁচে থাকতেন উপজাতিরা।", 
"target": "বেশিরভাগ সময়ই উপজাতিরা প্রকৃতির দয়ার উপর নির্ভরশীল ছিল।"
}
  ```

### Data Fields
-  'source': A string representing the source sentence.
-  'target': A string representing the target sentence.

### Data Splits
Dataset  with  train-dev-test  example  counts  are  given  below:
