Beyond Clean Text: Evaluating Encoder and Decoder Robustness for Bangla Event Detection in Noisy Text

arXiv:2606.30914v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Event detection (ED) systems are typically evaluated on clean, curated text, leaving their robustness to real-world noise largely unexplored, particularly for low-resource languages such as Bangla. We introduce a generalized Bangla news event ontology and a benchmark comprising 9,979 annotated sentences across 40 event subtypes, spanning clean news text, real-world Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) transcripts, and orthographically corrupted text....
