Dataset Summary

Curiosity dataset consists of 14K English dialogs (181K utterances) where users and assistants converse about geographic topics like geopolitical entities and locations. This dataset is annotated with pre-existing user knowledge, message-level dialog acts, grounding to Wikipedia, and user reactions to messages.

Supported Tasks and Leaderboards

• text-generation-other-conversational-curiosity: The dataset can be used to train a model for Conversational Curiosity, which consists in the testing of the hypothesis that engagement increases when users are presented with facts related to what they know. Success on this task is typically measured by achieving a high Accuracy and F1 Score.

Languages

The text in the dataset is in English collected by crowd-souring. The associated BCP-47 code is en.

Dataset Structure

Data Instances

A typical data point consists of dialogs between an user and an assistant, which is followed by the different attributes of the particular dialog.

An example from the Curiosity Dataset train set looks as follows:
