## Description

**BAAD6** is an **Authorship Attribution dataset for Bengali Literature**. It was collected and analyzed by Hemayet et al [[1]](https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/8631977). The data was obtained from different online posts and blogs. This dataset is balanced among the 6 Authors with 350 sample texts per author. This is a relatively small dataset but is noisy given the sources it was collected from and its cleaning procedure. Nonetheless, it may help evaluate authorship attribution systems as it resembles texts often available on the Internet. Details about the dataset are given in the table below.

| Author | Samples | Word count | Unique word |
| ------ | ------ | ------ | ------ |
|fe|350|357k|53k|
| ij | 350 | 391k | 72k
| mk | 350 | 377k | 47k
| rn | 350 | 231k | 50k
| hm | 350 | 555k | 72k
| rg | 350 | 391k | 58k
**Total** | 2,100 | 2,304,338 | 230,075
**Average** | 350 | 384,056.33 | 59,006.67
