|
| | To use this dataset, you need to install [ConvLab-3](https://github.com/ConvLab/ConvLab-3) platform first. Then you can load the dataset via: |
| | ``` |
| | from convlab.util import load_dataset, load_ontology, load_database |
| | |
| | dataset = load_dataset('tm1') |
| | ontology = load_ontology('tm1') |
| | database = load_database('tm1') |
| | ``` |
| | For more usage please refer to [here](https://github.com/ConvLab/ConvLab-3/tree/master/data/unified_datasets). |

|
| | ### Dataset Summary |
| |
|
| | The original dataset consists of 13,215 task-based dialogs, including 5,507 spoken and 7,708 written dialogs created with two distinct procedures. Each conversation falls into one of six domains: ordering pizza, creating auto repair appointments, setting up ride service, ordering movie tickets, ordering coffee drinks and making restaurant reservations. |
| |
|
| | - **How to get the transformed data from original data:** |
| | - Download [master.zip](https://github.com/google-research-datasets/Taskmaster/archive/refs/heads/master.zip). |
| | - Run `python preprocess.py` in the current directory. |
| | - **Main changes of the transformation:** |
| | - Remove dialogs that are empty or only contain one speaker. |
| | - Split woz-dialogs into train/validation/test randomly (8:1:1). The split of self-dialogs is followed the original dataset. |
| | - Merge continuous turns by the same speaker (ignore repeated turns). |
| | - Annotate `dialogue acts` according to the original segment annotations. Add `intent` annotation (inform/accept/reject). The type of `dialogue act` is set to `non-categorical` if the original segment annotation includes a specified `slot`. Otherwise, the type is set to `binary` (and the `slot` and `value` are empty) since it means general reference to a transaction, e.g. "OK your pizza has been ordered". If there are multiple spans overlapping, we only keep the shortest one, since we found that this simple strategy can reduce the noise in annotation. |
| | - Add `domain`, `intent`, and `slot` descriptions. |
| | - Add `state` by accumulate `non-categorical dialogue acts` in the order that they appear, except those whose intents are **reject**. |
| | - Keep the first annotation since each conversation was annotated by two workers. |
| | - **Annotations:** |
| | - dialogue acts, state. |

| | - **non-cat slot span**: how many values of non-categorical slots have span annotation in percentage. |
