Dataset Summary
The Schema-Guided Dialogue (SGD) dataset consists of over 20k annotated multi-domain, task-oriented conversations between a human and a virtual assistant. These conversations involve interactions with services and APIs spanning 20 domains, such as banks, events, media, calendar, travel, and weather. For most of these domains, the dataset contains multiple different APIs, many of which have overlapping functionalities but different interfaces, which reflects common real-world scenarios. The wide range of available annotations can be used for intent prediction, slot filling, dialogue state tracking, policy imitation learning, language generation, and user simulation learning, among other tasks for developing large-scale virtual assistants. Additionally, the dataset contains unseen domains and services in the evaluation set to quantify the performance in zero-shot or few-shot settings.
- How to get the transformed data from original data:
- Download dstc8-schema-guided-dialogue-master.zip.
- Run
python preprocess.pyin the current directory.
- Main changes of the transformation:
- Lower case original
actasintent. - Add
countslot for each domain, non-categorical, find span by text matching. - Categorize
dialogue actsaccording to theintent. - Concatenate multiple values using
|. - Retain
active_intent,requested_slots,service_call.
- Lower case original
- Annotations:
- dialogue acts, state, db_results, service_call, active_intent, requested_slots.

- 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.
