# diwank/silicone-merged

> Merged and simplified dialog act datasets from the [silicone collection](https://huggingface.co/datasets/silicone/)

**Note**: This dataset is highly imbalanced and it is recommended to use a library like [imbalanced-learn](https://imbalanced-learn.org/stable/) before proceeding with training.

## Feature description

- `text_a`: The utterance prior to the utterance being classified. (Say for dialog with turns 1-2-3, if we are trying to find the dialog act for 2, text_a is 1)
- `text_b`: The utterance to be classified
- `label`: Dialog act label (as integer between 0-10, as mapped below)

## Labels map

```python
[
    (0, 'acknowledge')
    (1, 'answer')
    (2, 'backchannel')
    (3, 'reply_yes')
    (4, 'exclaim')
    (5, 'say')
    (6, 'reply_no')
    (7, 'hold')
    (8, 'ask')
    (9, 'intent')
    (10, 'ask_yes_no')
]
```
