ArSen-20

Sentiment detection remains a pivotal task in natural language processing, yet its development in Arabic lags due to a scarcity of training materials compared to English. Addressing this gap, we present ArSen-20, a benchmark dataset tailored to propel Arabic sentiment detection forward. ArSen-20 comprises 20,000 professionally labeled tweets sourced from Twitter, focusing on the theme of COVID-19 and spanning the period from 2020 to 2023. Beyond tweet content, the dataset incorporates metadata associated with the user, enriching the contextual understanding. ArSen-20 offers a comprehensive resource to foster advancements in Arabic sentiment analysis and facilitate research in this critical domain.
