## Quickstart

To get started, simply install `datasets` with `pip install datasets` and load the chat data splits:

```python
from datasets import load_dataset
from huggingface_hub import snapshot_download

# Load the validation split
valid = load_dataset("McGill-NLP/weblinx", split="validation")

# Download the input templates and use the LLaMA one
snapshot_download(
    "McGill-NLP/WebLINX", repo_type="dataset", allow_patterns="templates/*", local_dir="."
)
with open('templates/llama.txt') as f:
    template = f.read()

# To get the input text, simply pass a turn from the valid split to the template
turn = valid[0]
turn_text = template.format(**turn)
```

You can now use `turn_text` as an input to LLaMA-style models. For example, you can use Sheared-LLaMA:

```python
from transformers import pipeline

action_model = pipeline(
    model="McGill-NLP/Sheared-LLaMA-2.7B-weblinx", device=0, torch_dtype='auto'
)
out = action_model(turn_text, return_full_text=False, max_new_tokens=64, truncation=True)
pred = out[0]['generated_text']

print("Ref:", turn["action"])
print("Pred:", pred)
```

## Raw Data

To use the raw data, you will need to use the `huggingface_hub`:

```python
from huggingface_hub import snapshot_download

# If you want to download the complete dataset (may take a while!)
snapshot_download(repo_id="McGill-NLP/WebLINX-full", repo_type="dataset", local_dir="./wl_data")

# You can download specific demos, for example
demo_names = ['saabwsg', 'ygprzve', 'iqaazif']  # 3 random demo from valid
patterns = [f"demonstrations/{name}/*" for name in demo_names]
snapshot_download(
    repo_id="McGill-NLP/WebLINX-full", repo_type="dataset", local_dir="./wl_data", allow_patterns=patterns
)
```

For more information on how to use this data using our [official library](https://github.com/McGill-NLP/WebLINX), please refer to the [WebLINX documentation](https://mcgill-nlp.github.io/weblinx/docs).

## Reranking Data

You can also access the data processed for reranking tasks. To do that:

```python
from datasets import load_dataset

name = 'xhluca/WebLINX-testing'
# validation split:
valid = load_dataset(name, 'reranking', split='validation')
# test-iid split
test_iid = load_dataset(name, 'reranking', split='test_iid')
# other options: test_cat, test_geo, test_vis, test_web

print("Query:")
print(valid[0]['query'])

print("\nPositive:")
print(valid[0]['positives'][0])

print("\nNegative #1:")
print(valid[0]['negatives'][0])

print("\nNegative #2:")
print(valid[0]['negatives'][1])
```
