	### Dataset Summary

	This is a Multi-turn dialogue dataset for Bengali, curated from the original English [DailyDialogue]() dataset and using the state-of-the-art English to Bengali translation model introduced [here](https://aclanthology.org/2020.emnlp-main.207/).


	### Supported Tasks and Leaderboards

	[More information needed](https://github.com/csebuetnlp/BanglaNLG)

	### Languages

	* `Bengali`

	### Usage
	```python
	from datasets import load_dataset
	dataset = load_dataset("csebuetnlp/dailydialogue_bn")
	```
	## Dataset Structure

	### Data Instances

	One example from the dataset is given below in JSON format. Each element of the `dialogue` feature represents a single turn of the conversation.
	```
	{
	"id": "130",
	"dialogue":
	[
	"তোমার জন্মদিনের জন্য তুমি কি করবে?",
	"আমি আমার বন্ধুদের সাথে পিকনিক করতে চাই, মা।",
	"বাড়িতে পার্টি হলে কেমন হয়? এভাবে আমরা একসাথে হয়ে উদযাপন করতে পারি।",
	"ঠিক আছে, মা। আমি আমার বন্ধুদের বাড়িতে আমন্ত্রণ জানাবো।"
	]
	}
	```

	### Data Fields

	The data fields are as follows:

	- `id`: a `string` feature.
	- `dialogue`: a List of `string` feature.


	### Data Splits

	\| split \|count \|
	\|----------\|--------\|
	\|`train`\| 11118 \|
	\|`validation`\| 1000 \|
	\|`test`\| 1000 \|




	## Dataset Creation

	For the training set, we translated the complete [DailyDialogue](https://aclanthology.org/N18-1101/) dataset using the English to Bangla translation model introduced [here](https://aclanthology.org/2020.emnlp-main.207/). Due to the possibility of incursions of error during automatic translation, we used the [Language-Agnostic BERT Sentence Embeddings (LaBSE)](https://arxiv.org/abs/2007.01852) of the translations and original sentences to compute their similarity. A datapoint was accepted if all of its constituent sentences had a similarity score over 0.7.

	abstract = "This work presents {`}BanglaNLG,{'} a comprehensive benchmark for evaluating natural language generation (NLG) models in Bangla, a widely spoken yet low-resource language. We aggregate six challenging conditional text generation tasks under the BanglaNLG benchmark, introducing a new dataset on dialogue generation in the process. Furthermore, using a clean corpus of 27.5 GB of Bangla data, we pretrain {`}BanglaT5{'}, a sequence-to-sequence Transformer language model for Bangla. BanglaT5 achieves state-of-the-art performance in all of these tasks, outperforming several multilingual models by up to 9{\%} absolute gain and 32{\%} relative gain. We are making the new dialogue dataset and the BanglaT5 model publicly available at https://github.com/csebuetnlp/BanglaNLG in the hope of advancing future research on Bangla NLG.",
