An Empirical Study on Bengali News Headline Categorization Leveraging Different Machine Learning Techniques

Bengali News Headline Categorization Using Machine Learning aims to categorize Bengali online news headlines into six distinct categories using Natural Language Processing. Researchers in different application fields have recently paid great attention to the fantastic accomplishments of Machine Learning Models in Natural Language Processing. Several machine learning algorithms categorize Bengali news headlines, including Logistic Regression, Random Forest Classifier, Multinomial Naive Bayes, and RBF Support Vector Machine. Also, deep learning models like LSTM, Bi-LSTM, GRU, Bi-GRU, and CNN, and the Bangla-BERT and XLM-RoBERTa transformer learning models are presented in this research. This paper’s primary purpose is to provide a comparative observation of several machine learning models, deep learning models, and transformer learning methods in Bengali news headline classification. We used 1,36,811 text data of Bengali news headlines for evaluation, and our dataset had an accuracy of 86.50% with XLM-RoBERTa.
