# Dataset Card for "databricks-dolly-15k-curated-multilingual"

A curated and multilingual version of the Databricks Dolly instructions dataset. It includes a programmatically and manually corrected version of the original `en` dataset. See below.

**STATUS**:

Currently, the original Dolly v2 English version has been curated combining automatic processing and collaborative human curation using Argilla (~400 records have been manually edited and fixed). The following graph shows a summary about the number of edited fields.

### Dataset Summary

This dataset collection is a curated and machine-translated version of the `databricks-dolly-15k` [dataset](https://github.com/databrickslabs/dolly/tree/master/data) originally created by Databricks, Inc. in 2023.

The goal is to give practitioners a starting point for training open-source instruction-following models with better-quality English data and translated data beyond English. However, as the translation quality will not be perfect, we highly recommend dedicating time to curate and fix translation issues. Below we explain how to load the datasets into [Argilla for data curation and fixing](https://github.com/argilla-io/argilla). Additionally, we'll be improving the datasets made available here, with the help of different communities.


Currently, the original English version has been curated combining automatic processing and collaborative human curation using Argilla (~400 records have been manually edited and fixed). The following graph shows a summary of the number of edited fields.

The main issues (likely many issues still remaining) are the following:

1. Some labelers misunderstood the usage of the `context` field. This `context` field is used as part of the prompt for instruction-tuning and in other works it's called `input` (e.g., Alpaca). Likely, the name context, has led to some labelers using it to provide the full context of where they have extracted the response. This is problematic for some types of tasks (summarization, closed-qa or information-extraction) because sometimes the context is shorter than or unrelated to summaries, or the information cannot be extracted from the context (closed-qa, information-extraction).
2. Some labelers misunderstood the way to give instructions for summarization or closed-qa, for example, they ask: Who is Thomas Jefferson? then provide a very long context and a response equally long.

We programmatically identified records with these potential issues and ran a campaign to fix it and as a result more than 400 records have been adapted. See below for statistics:

As a result of this curation process the content of the fields has been reduced, counted in number of tokens, especially for the responses:

If you want to browse and curate your dataset with Argilla, you can:

1. [Duplicate this Space](https://huggingface.co/spaces/argilla/dolly-multilingual-curation/settings?duplicate=true). IMPORTANT: The Space's Visibility need to be Public, but you can setup your own password and API KEYS [following this guide](https://docs.argilla.io/en/latest/getting_started/installation/deployments/huggingface-spaces.html#setting-up-secret-environment-variables).
2. Setup two secrets: `HF_TOKEN` and `LANG` for indicating the language split
3. Login with `admin`/`12345678` and start browsing and labelling.
4. Start labeling. Every 5 min the validations will be stored on a Hub dataset in your personal HF space.
5. Please get in touch to contribute fixes and improvements to the source datasets.

There's one split per language:

```python
from datasets import load_dataset

# loads all splits
load_dataset("argilla/databricks-dolly-15k-curate-multilingual")

# loads Spanish splits
load_dataset("argilla/databricks-dolly-15k-curated-multilingual", split="es")

```

### Supported Tasks and Leaderboards

As described in the README of the original dataset, this dataset can be used for:


* Training LLMs
* Synthetic Data Generation
* Data Augmentation


### Languages

Currently: `es`, `fr`, `de`, `en`

Join Argilla [Slack community](https://join.slack.com/t/rubrixworkspace/shared_invite/zt-whigkyjn-a3IUJLD7gDbTZ0rKlvcJ5g) if you want to help us include other languages.
