Hawkins'll give some information about their classes and medications to help Mr. Smith quit smoking.", 'dialogue': "#Person1#: Hi, Mr. Smith. I'm Doctor Hawkins. Why are you here today?\n#Person2#: I found it would be a good idea to get a check-up.\n#Person1#: Yes, well, you haven't had one for 5 years. You should have one every year.\n#Person2#: I know. I figure as long as there is nothing wrong, why go see the doctor?\n#Person1#: Well, the best way to avoid serious illnesses is to find out about them early. So try to come at least once a year for your own good.\n#Person2#: Ok.\n#Person1#: Let me see here. Your eyes and ears look fine. Take a deep breath, please. Do you smoke, Mr. Smith?\n#Person2#: Yes.\n#Person1#: Smoking is the leading cause of lung cancer and heart disease, you know. You really should quit.\n#Person2#: I've tried hundreds of times, but I just can't seem to kick the habit.\n#Person1#: Well, we have classes and some medications that might help. I'll give you more information before you leave.\n#Person2#: Ok, thanks doctor.", 'topic': "get a check-up}

-## Dataset Creation
-### Curation Rationale
-In paper:
-We collect dialogue data for DialogSum from three public dialogue corpora, namely Dailydialog (Li et al., 2017), DREAM (Sun et al., 2019) and MuTual (Cui et al., 2019), as well as an English speaking practice website. These datasets contain face-to-face spoken dialogues that cover a wide range of daily-life topics, including schooling, work, medication, shopping, leisure, travel. Most conversations take place between friends, colleagues, and between service providers and customers.
-
-Compared with previous datasets, dialogues from DialogSum have distinct characteristics:
-
-Under rich real-life scenarios, including more diverse task-oriented scenarios;
-Have clear communication patterns and intents, which is valuable to serve as summarization sources;
-Have a reasonable length, which comforts the purpose of automatic summarization.
-
-We ask annotators to summarize each dialogue based on the following criteria:
-Convey the most salient information;
-Be brief;
-Preserve important named entities within the conversation;
-Be written from an observer perspective;
-Be written in formal language.
-### Who are the source language producers?
-linguists
-### Who are the annotators?
-language experts

-#Person1#: If the company does as well as many new high-tech companies have done recently, that could mean a lot of money in his pocket.

-#Person1#: What did you end up buying?
-#Person2#: Well, my car is very old, so I didn't worry so much about what it would cost to repair it. I did buy a lot of coverage for fixing someone else's car.

-#Person1#: Did you drink?
-#Person2#: Yes. I drank 3 bottles of beer.
-#Person1#: Were you drunk?
-#Person2#: Yeah. It was a shame. I got tipsy and knocked a plate off the table. The plate broke into pieces.
-#Person1#: Did you pay for the broken plate?
-#Person2#: No. I paid only for my dinner but not for the plate.
-#Person1#: Did you apologize?
-#Person2#: No, I didn't. And the waiter just wouldn't let me go.
-#Person1#: Why not?
-#Person2#: He asked me to pay for the plate. I got mad and punched him.
-#Person1#: How many times did you punch him?
-#Person2#: 3 times.
-#Person1#: Where did you punch him?
-#Person2#: One in the mouth and the other two in the face.
-#Person1#: Did he fight back?
-#Person2#: No.
-#Person1#: After investigation, we learned that your punches bruised the waiter's face and loosened one of his teeth.
-#Person2#: I drank too much and didn't know what I was doing then.
-#Person1#: You have infringed upon a citizen's rights.
-#Person2#: I'm so sorry. I'd like to apologize to him and pay his medical expense.

-hiddentest_18,"#Person1#: I read that your company is downsizing again. What will that mean for your job?
-#Person2#: It means I'm out of a job. They have already given me a 'pink slip'.
-#Person1#: That's bad news. This has happened to you before, hasn't it?
-#Person2#: Yes. This will be the third time in five years and I'm ready to call it quits.
-#Person1#: What do you mean? You're going to quit working?
-#Person2#: No, I'll still be working, but not for a company. I'm going to be my own boss.
-#Person1#: Doesn't that make you a little nervous? You won't have all the benefits that go with working for a company no retire and no health insurance.
-#Person2#: That is the bad part of it, but I am really tired of being dependent on the whims of big business. It seems that it hasn't been all that secure for me.
-#Person1#: What will you do?
-#Person2#: I've had a couple of friends who have gone out on their own. They say it is the best thing that ever happened to them.
-#Person1#: I know it is the secret dream of a lot of people to be their own boss, especially the younger generation.
-#Person2#: One of my friends just takes temporary jobs. Companies are looking for people with his skills, but only on a temporary basis. So he goes for one company to another, depending on where they need him. He's able to set his own working hours and he makes a lot more than he was when he was working full time. He really likes the freedom he enjoys.
-#Person1#: What does he do when he doesn't have any jobs coming in?
-#Person2#: He goes to a temporary employment agency. It seems he always finds work and doubles what he used to make.
-#Person1#: I hope you find just the right thing for your skills. It would be nice to have a job that gave you more freedom.
-#Person2#: That's why I'm making the change. I want to be able to spend the extra time with my family and it will be great to be working at my home instead of going to the office every day.
-#Person1#: Good luck! With your attitude and ability, I'm sure you'll do well.",unemployment
-hiddentest_19,"#Person1#: How do you plan to pack our order?
-#Person2#: The standard packing. For this kind of products we export, every two dozens are packed in a paper carton, then we pack 10 cartons in one big wooden case.
-#Person1#: The key issue is to make sure that the packing is seaworthy. Of the last goods we received, there were a few items damaged by dampness.
-#Person2#: Yes, we've noticed that, too. But this time each wooden case is lined with plastic sheets from inside, in addition, we've put a 'keep dry' sign on the outside.
-#Person1#: I guess that'll be good enough.",goods packing
-hiddentest_20,"#Person1#: I guess that we won't be going rollerblading today with all this rain!
-#Person2#: Yes, rollerblading in six inches of water would not be fun. What would you like to do instead?
-#Person1#: I think that maybe we could check out the local mall, grab some lunch, and maybe see a movie.
-#Person2#: Yes, that sounds like a relaxing way to check out the local culture and still stay dry.
-#Person1#: What else could we do in bad weather?
-#Person2#: You know, we could take a double-decker bus tour of famous haunted houses and buildings.
-#Person1#: That would be fun, and the rain would only add to the atmosphere.
-#Person2#: There is an old English pub next door. Maybe when we finish with the haunted house, we can duck in there for some brew.

-hiddentest_24,"#Person1#: It seems there are a growing number of new companies in the field of computers who are headed by very young people. Many of them are only in their twenties and already heading up highly successful companies.
-#Person2#: That's true and I think you'll find their style of management to be very different from the traditional type of leadership.
-#Person1#: I think they are more invokes in their companies. They run them as they would run a family. I believe they are more interested in their business and what it will be able to achieve for the good of the world. They don't seem to be as interested in the business as just a way to become rich as their older counterparts are.
-#Person2#: Can you give me some example of their different leadership style?
-#Person1#: Sure, how about this: Young bosses sometimes let their employees bring their children to work, even their pets? Many times they make decisions on the basis of what will be best for their employees instead of what is best for the business.
-#Person2#: I guess young people are more idealistic, so when they have the drive and talent to start a business of their own, they also feel free to manage the business in ways that they believe are ethical and moral.
-#Person1#: Do you think these young businessmen and businesswomen are more ethical and moral than business owners and managers in past generations?
-#Person2#: Yes, I really do. I think businesses in the past haven't been concerned about their employees' personal needs. I think young owners have heard their parents complain about their working situations as they were growing up. Now that they can do things the way they want, they want to change things for the better.
-#Person1#: Right now these young businessmen and businesswomen are making a lot of money, so it is easy for them to demonstrate their lofty ideals. Do you think they will remain true to those ideals during economic hard times?
