A Unified BERT-CNN-BiLSTM Framework for Simultaneous Headline Classification and Sentiment Analysis of Bangla News

Read the original on arXiv AI →

The paper introduces a hybrid BERT‑CNN‑BiLSTM model for simultaneously classifying Bangla news headlines and performing sentiment analysis. Using the BAN‑ABSA dataset of 9,014 headlines, the authors compare two sampling strategies and report headline accuracy up to 81.37 % and sentiment accuracy up to 73.43 %. The proposed framework outperforms baseline models and establishes new state‑of‑the‑art results for Bangla headline classification and sentiment analysis.

MIL-BERT: Classification of Arbitrarily Large Text with Performance and Explanatory Guarantees

MIL-BERT is a neural network algorithm that classifies large texts by selecting relevant excerpts, inspired by multiple instance learning. It scales to samples with nearly 1 million tokens and has been evaluated on seven datasets, achieving state‑of‑the‑art results on three long‑text tasks such as political bias detection, trigger warning identification, and author demographic inference. The model also generalizes from weakly‑labeled text bags to accurately classify smaller instances.

BanglaMamba: Exploring State Space Models for Bangla Fake News Detection

BanglaMamba explores Mamba-based State Space Models (SSMs) as a computationally efficient alternative for Bangla fake news detection. Compared to BanglaBERT and a custom BERT trained from scratch, BanglaMamba achieves a Macro‑F1 score of 0.9029, close to the 0.9057 of the custom BERT, while delivering 2.2× higher inference throughput and 49% lower peak GPU memory usage. Cross‑dataset evaluation shows BanglaBERT generalizes better, underscoring the value of large‑scale pretraining.
