# OpenAssistant Conversations Dataset (OASST1)

## Dataset Description

- **Homepage:** https://www.open-assistant.io/
- **Repository:** https://github.com/LAION-AI/Open-Assistant
- **Paper:** TBA on April 17, 2023

### Dataset Summary

In an effort to democratize research on large-scale alignment, we release OpenAssistant 
Conversations (OASST1), a human-generated, human-annotated assistant-style conversation 
corpus consisting of 161,443 messages distributed across 66,497 conversation trees, in 
35 different languages, annotated with 461,292 quality ratings. The corpus is a product
of a worldwide crowd-sourcing effort involving over 13,500 volunteers.

### Dataset Structure

This dataset contains demonstrations of human-assistant conversations which were collected
on the [open-assistant.io](https://www.open-assistant.io/) website until April, 12 2023.

Conversations are exported as conversation trees with messages as nodes.
The root node of a conversation tree is called the initial prompt. Each message can have 
multiple replies. Nodes with more than one reply can have a `rank` field indicating the 
user preference (the most preferred message has rank 0).

All messages have a role which can either be "assistant" or "prompter". The roles in 
conversation threads from prompt to leaf node in a conversation tree are stricly alternating 
between "assistant" and "prompter".

Please refer to [oasst-data](https://github.com/LAION-AI/Open-Assistant/tree/main/oasst-data) for
details about the data structure and python code to load and write conversation tree and message
jsonl files.


## Main Dataset Files

Data is provided either as nested messages in conversation trees or as flat list of messages.

The type of file can be inferred from the file name extension: 
- `.trees.jsonl.gz`: Conversation trees with nested messages
- `.messages.jsonl.gz`: Flat list of messages

Full conversation trees can be reconstructed from a flat messages using the `parent_id` 
and `message_id` properties to identify the parent-child relationship of messages. To 
select all messages of a single conversation tree `message_tree_id` can be used (only present 
in flat messages files).

### Ready For Export Trees

This set of exported trees contains all trees in `ready_for_export` state without spam
and deleted messages. For supervised fine-tuning & reward model training this file is ideal.
