Dataset Card for "daily_dialog"

Dataset Summary

We develop a high-quality multi-turn dialog dataset, DailyDialog, which is intriguing in several aspects. The language is human-written and less noisy. The dialogues in the dataset reflect our daily communication way and cover various topics about our daily life. We also manually label the developed dataset with communication intention and emotion information. Then, we evaluate existing approaches on DailyDialog dataset and hope it benefit the research field of dialog systems.

An example of 'validation' looks as follows.

This example was too long and was cropped:

{
    "act": [2, 1, 1, 1, 1, 2, 3, 2, 3, 4],
    "dialog": "[\"Good afternoon . This is Michelle Li speaking , calling on behalf of IBA . Is Mr Meng available at all ? \", \" This is Mr Meng ...",
    "emotion": [0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0]
}
