   {'speaker': '医生', 'utterance': '南方医的B超说得不清楚，可能是鞘膜积液，可到我医院复查一个B超。'}],
  'dialogue_url': 'https://www.haodf.com/doctorteam/flow_team_6477251152.htm',
  'file_name': '2020.txt'},
}

processed.en 

{
  'description': 'throat a bit sore and want to get a good imune booster, especially in light of the virus. please advise. have not been in contact with nyone with the virus.',

processed.zh 

{
  'utterances': [
    '病人：强制性脊柱炎，晚上睡觉翻身时腰骶骨区域疼痛，其他身体任何部位均不疼痛。',

Data Fields

For generating the QA only the below fields have been considered:

  • ID : Consultatation Identifier (restarts for each file)
  • URL: The url link of the extracted conversation
  • Dialogue : The conversation between the doctor and the patient.

These are arranged as below in the prepared dataset. Each item will be represented with these parameters.

  • "file_name": string - signifies the file from which the conversation was extracted
  • "dialogue_id": int32 - the dialogue id
  • "dialogue_url": string - url of the conversation
  • "dialogue_turns": datasets.Sequence - sequence of dialogues between patient and the doctor.Consists ClassLabel(names=["病人", "医生"]), and "utterance"(string) for each turn. (ClassLable(names=["Patient", "Doctor"]) for english)

processed.en

  • description (str): Description of the dialog.
  • utterances (list of str): Dialog utterances between patient and doctor.

processed.zh

  • utterances (list of str): Dialog utterances between patient and doctor.

Data Splits

There are no data splits on the original raw data. The "train" split for each language contains:

  • en: 229674 examples
  • zh: 1921127 examples

For processed configurations, data is split into train, validation and test, with the following number of examples:

train validation test
processed.en 482 60 61
processed.zh 2725989 340748 340754
