Claire French Dialogue Dataset (CFDD)
A collection of French dialogue transcripts and plays

This is the first packaged version of the datasets used to train the Claire family of large language models (OpenLLM-France/Claire-7B-0.1).

The Claire French Dialogue Dataset (CFDD) is a collection of theater plays and transcripts of real French dialogues from various sources, including parliamentary proceedings, interviews, debates, meetings, and free conversations. Each dialogue is split into speech turns, and each speech turn is labeled with the name of the speaker, or a unique identifier if the speaker is unknown.

Dataset composition

CFDD can be broken down into:

  • 37 015 conversations in total (36 731 in train, 284 in test)
  • 2 961 116 speech turns in total (2 934 084 in train, 27 032 in test)
  • around 150M words

It is a collection of several independent datasets, classified by the types of conversations they contain. This categorization is designed to more evenly balance the influence of different styles of dialogue on model training and to facilitate future applications of CFDD for which certain types of dialogue might be more helpful than others.

Note that this categorization leads to multiple cases in which the original corpus is split into subcorpora. When the smaller sets are included in our corpus, they are clearly indicated, e.g., "ESLO (1/5)". Some portions of the original corpora have been excluded entirely because they did not include dialogue between adults (e.g., monologues, read literature).

Example use (python)

In the following sample_by="paragraph" is important to ensure that each sample corresponds to a full conversation (not just a speech turn).

Load dataset from HuggingFace cache (downloaded under ~/.cache/huggingface/datasets):

from datasets import load_dataset

dataset = load_dataset("OpenLLM-France/Claire-Dialogue-French-0.1", sample_by="paragraph", streaming=True)

Load dataset from raw text files:

from datasets import load_dataset
import glob

path = "path/to/dataset"
train_files = glob.glob(path + "/*/train.txt")
test_files = glob.glob(path + "/*/test.txt")

dataset = load_dataset("text", data_files={"train": train_files, "test": test_files}, sample_by="paragraph", streaming=True)

Iterate on the dataset:

for sample in dataset["train"]:
    train_conversation = sample["text"]
    ...

for sample in dataset["test"]:
    test_conversation = sample["text"]
    ...

Important notes

All datasets were normalized in text files so that:

  • Conversations are separated by a single blank line.
  • Each line corresponds to a single speech turn.
  • Each line begins with a speaker label of the form "[***:]".
  • When speaker names are anonymized or otherwise unknown, speakers are distinguished by numbers in the following format: "[speaker001:]", "[speaker002:]", …
    Otherwise, speakers are labeled with their names or roles, e.g. "[Paul:]", "[François Mitterrand:]", "[M. le président:]".
  • There are no parentheses: special annotations are always between square brackets.
  • Commong tags include:
    • "[PII]": Personally Identifiable Information (anonymized name...)
    • "[NOISE]": distinct ambient noises
    • "[LAUGHTER]": laughter
  • Depending on the data source, data may or may not include punctuation marks and upper case letters.
  • The data were normalized in various ways including unicode NFC normalization, conversion of unbreakable spaces to spaces, and standardization of punctuation marks (… -> ..., «/»/“/”/″/„ -> ").

Those details are described in the paper: « The Claire French Dialogue Dataset » (2023).
