# DialogStudio: Towards Richest and Most Diverse Unified Dataset Collection and Instruction-Aware Models for Conversational AI ## News! * [Initial Release] July 2023, we're thrilled to the initial release of the largest unified Dialog dataset collection. The full list of all available datasets is [here](./Dataset_Stats.csv). ## Contents - [Introduction](#introduction) - [Loading Data](#loading-data) - [Datasets](#datasets) - [Model](#model) - [License](#license) - [Citation](#citation) ## Introduction DialogStudio is a large collection and unified dialog datasets. The figure below provides a summary of the general statistics associated with DialogStudio. DialogStudio unified each dataset while preserving its original information, and this aids in supporting research on both individual datasets and Large Language Model (LLM) training. The full list of all available datasets is [here](./Dataset_Stats.csv). The data are downloadable through Huggingface as introduced in [Loading Data](#loading-data). We also provide examples for each dataset in this repo. For more granular and category-specific details, please refer to the individual folders corresponding to each category within the DialogStudio collection, e.g. [MULTIWOZ2_2](./task-oriented-dialogues/MULTIWOZ2_2/) dataset under the [task-oriented-dialogues](./task-oriented-dialogues/) category.

DialogStudio evaluates dialogue quality based on six critical criteria, namely Understanding, Relevance, Correctness, Coherence, Completeness, and Overall Quality. Each criterion is scored on a scale of 1 to 5, with the highest scores reserved for exceptional dialogues. Given the vast number of datasets incorporated into DialogStudio, we utilized 'gpt-3.5-turbo' to assess 33 distinct datasets. The corresponding script used for this evaluation can be accessed through the [link](https://github.com/salesforce/DialogStudio/blob/main/code/openai_dialog_quality_evaluation.py). The results of our dialogue quality assessment are presented below. We intend to release evaluation scores for individually selected dialogues in the upcoming period.

## Loading Data You can load any dataset in the DialogStudio from the [HuggingFace hub](https://huggingface.co/datasets/Salesforce/dialogstudio) by claiming the `{dataset_name}`, which is exactly the dataset folder name. All available datasets are described in [dataset content](./Dataset_Stats.csv). Below is one example to load the [MULTIWOZ2_2](./task-oriented-dialogues/MULTIWOZ2_2/) dataset under the [task-oriented-dialogues](./task-oriented-dialogues/) category: Load the dataset ```python from datasets import load_dataset dataset = load_dataset('Salesforce/dialogstudio', 'MULTIWOZ2_2') ``` Here is the output structure of MultiWOZ 2.2 ```python DatasetDict({ train: Dataset({ features: ['original dialog id', 'new dialog id', 'dialog index', 'original dialog info', 'log', 'prompt', 'external knowledge non-flat', 'external knowledge', 'dst knowledge', 'intent knowledge'], num_rows: 8437 }) validation: Dataset({ features: ['original dialog id', 'new dialog id', 'dialog index', 'original dialog info', 'log', 'prompt', 'external knowledge non-flat', 'external knowledge', 'dst knowledge', 'intent knowledge'], num_rows: 1000 }) test: Dataset({ features: ['original dialog id', 'new dialog id', 'dialog index', 'original dialog info', 'log', 'prompt', 'external knowledge non-flat', 'external knowledge', 'dst knowledge', 'intent knowledge'], num_rows: 1000 }) }) ``` ## Datasets The datasets are split into several categories in this GitHub repository and [HuggingFace hub](https://huggingface.co/datasets/Salesforce/dialogstudio). You can check the [table of dataset](./Dataset_Stats.csv) for more information. And you can click into each folder to check a few examples: - [Knowledge-Grounded-Dialogues](./knowledge-grounded-dialogues/) - [Natural-Language-Understanding](./natural-language-understanding/) - [Open-Domain-Dialogues](./open-domain-dialogues/) - [Task-Oriented-Dialogues](./task-oriented-dialogues/) - [Dialogue-Summarization](./dialogue-summarization/) - [Conversational-Recommendation-Dialogs](./conversational-recommendation-dialogues/) ## Model (Will update soon) We've rolled out version 1.0 of models trained on a few selected DialogStudio datasets. Built on small-scale pre-trained models, this version does not incorporate datasets utilized for training large-scale models (>=7B) like Alpaca, ShareGPT, GPT4ALL, UltraChat from OpenAI's 'GPT-3.5/4', or other datasets such as OASST1 and WizardCoder (Note that DialogStudio has unified such datasets). As a result, it has certain limitations in terms of writing and creative capabilities. Our initial focus is to update the model versions to enhance existing abilities. Further improvements, including expansion of other capabilities, are part of our roadmap and will be responsive to community requests. ## License Our project follows the following structure with respect to licensing: 1. For all the modified datasets in DialogStudio: - A portion of these datasets is under the [Apache License 2.0](LICENSE.txt). - Some retain their original licenses even after modification. - For a few datasets that lacked a license, we have cited the relevant papers. 2. Original dataset licenses: For reference, we also put the originally available licenses for each dataset into their respective dataset folders. 3. Code: Our codebase is under the [Apache License 2.0](LICENSE.txt). For detailed licensing information, please refer to the specific licenses accompanying the datasets. It is important to familiarize yourself with these terms as we do not assume responsibility for licensing issues. ## Acknowledgement We sincerely thank all dataset authors who have contributed to the Conversational AI field.
