chitchat-dataset
Open-domain conversational dataset from the BYU [Perception, Control & Cognition] lab's [Chit-Chat Challenge].
stats
- 7,168 conversations
- 258,145 utterances
- 1,315 unique participants
format
The [dataset] is a mapping from conversation [UUID] to a conversation:
{
"prompt": "What's the most interesting thing you've learned recently?",
"ratings": { "witty": "1", "int": 5, "upbeat": 5 },
"start": "2018-04-20T01:57:41",
"messages": [
[
{
"text": "Hello",
"timestamp": "2018-04-19T19:57:51",
"sender": "22578ac2-6317-44d5-8052-0a59076e0b96"
}
],
[
{
"text": "I learned that the Queen of England's last corgi died",
"timestamp": "2018-04-19T19:58:14",
"sender": "bebad07e-15df-48c3-a04f-67db828503e3"
}
],
[
{
"text": "Wow that sounds so sad",
"timestamp": "2018-04-19T19:58:18",
"sender": "22578ac2-6317-44d5-8052-0a59076e0b96"
},
{
"text": "was it a cardigan welsh corgi",
"timestamp": "2018-04-19T19:58:22",
"sender": "22578ac2-6317-44d5-8052-0a59076e0b96"
},
{
"text": "?",
"timestamp": "2018-04-19T19:58:24",
"sender": "22578ac2-6317-44d5-8052-0a59076e0b96"
}
]
]
}
This makes it convenient to represent multi-message conversational turns etc., preserving the structure/flow of the conversation.
