	### Link to Main Data Card

	You can find the main data card on the [GEM Website](https://gem-benchmark.com/data_cards/Taskmaster).

	### Dataset Summary

	This is a large task-oriented dialog dataset in which a model has to produce the response. The input contains the context and a structured representation of what the model is supposed to generate. The input is already pre-formatted as string, turning this into a pure text-to-text problem.

	You can load the dataset via:
	```
	import datasets
	data = datasets.load_dataset('GEM/Taskmaster')
	```
	The data loader can be found [here](https://huggingface.co/datasets/GEM/Taskmaster).
