# Dataset Card for KVRET

- **Repository:** https://nlp.stanford.edu/blog/a-new-multi-turn-multi-domain-task-oriented-dialogue-dataset/
- **Paper:** https://arxiv.org/pdf/1705.05414.pdf
- **Leaderboard:** None
- **Who transforms the dataset:** Qi Zhu(zhuq96 at gmail dot com)

To use this dataset, you need to install [ConvLab-3](https://github.com/ConvLab/ConvLab-3) platform first. Then you can load the dataset via:
```
from convlab.util import load_dataset, load_ontology, load_database

dataset = load_dataset('kvret')
ontology = load_ontology('kvret')
database = load_database('kvret')
```
For more usage please refer to [here](https://github.com/ConvLab/ConvLab-3/tree/master/data/unified_datasets).

### Dataset Summary

In an effort to help alleviate this problem, we release a corpus of 3,031 multi-turn dialogues in three distinct domains appropriate for an in-car assistant: calendar scheduling, weather information retrieval, and point-of-interest navigation. Our dialogues are grounded through knowledge bases ensuring that they are versatile in their natural language without being completely free form.

- **How to get the transformed data from original data:**
  - Run `python preprocess.py` in the current directory.
- **Main changes of the transformation:**
  - Create user `dialogue acts` and `state` according to original annotation.
  - Put dialogue level kb into system side `db_results`.
  - Skip repeated turns and empty dialogue.
- **Annotations:**
  - user dialogue acts, state, db_results.

3 domains: ['schedule', 'weather', 'navigate']
- **cat slot match**: how many values of categorical slots are in the possible values of ontology in percentage.
- **non-cat slot span**: how many values of non-categorical slots have span annotation in percentage.
