## Dataset Description

- **Repository:** https://github.com/silverriver/PersonalDilaog
- **Paper:** https://arxiv.org/abs/1901.09672

### Dataset Summary

The PersonalDialog dataset is a large-scale multi-turn Chinese dialogue dataset containing various traits from a large number of speakers.
We are releasing about 5M sessions of carefully filtered dialogues.
Each utterance in PersonalDialog is associated with a speaker marked with traits like Gender, Location, Interest Tags.

### Supported Tasks and Leaderboards

- dialogue-generation: The dataset can be used to train a model for generating dialogue responses.
- response-retrieval: The dataset can be used to train a reranker model that can be used to implement a retrieval-based dialogue model.

### Languages

PersonalDialog is in Chinese

PersonalDialog中的对话是中文的

- `profile` (list of dicts): List of profiles associated with each speaker.
- `tag` (list of strings): List of tags associated with each speaker.
- `loc` (string): Location of each speaker.
- `gender` (string): Gender of each speaker.
- `uid` (list of int): Speaker id for each utterance in the dialogue.
- `responder_profile` (dict): Profile of the responder. (Only available in `dev` and `test` split)
- `golden_response` (str): Response of the responder. (Only available in `dev` and `test` split)
