### Dataset Summary

This dataset provides dialogues annotated in dialogue acts and dialogue
state in and RDF based formalism.

There is a conversion of `sfxdial`, `dstc2` and `multiwoz2.3` datasets
as well as two fully synthetic datasets created from simulated conversations:
`camrest-sim` and `multiwoz-sim`.

Original dataset before conversion are available here:
- DSTC2: https://github.com/matthen/dstc
- Multiwoz 2.3: https://github.com/thu-coai/ConvLab-2/tree/master/data/multiwoz2.3
- SfxDial: https://www.repository.cam.ac.uk/items/62011578-23d4-4355-8878-5a150fb72b43

### Supported Tasks and Leaderboards

This dataset was used for the following tasks:
- Natural Language Generation
- Dialogue State Tracking

### Languages

This dataset includes the following languages:
- English

## Dataset Structure

### Data Instances


For all datasets, each item has this schema:

```python
{
    "dialogue_id": "string",         # dialog identifier
    "turns": [{                      # list of dialog turns
        "id": "int8",                # dialog turn index in the conversation
        "speaker": "string",         # speaker identifier ('user' or 'system')
        "text": "string",            # speaker utterance
        "rdf-acts": ["string"],      # string representation of dialog acts
    }],
    "states": [{                     # dialog states for each turn
        "id": "int8",
        "multi_relations": "bool",   # are multiple instances of relations allowed ?
        "triples": [["string"]],     # triples representing the state
        "turn_ids": ["int8"],        # ids of turns contributing to this state
    }],
}
```

### Data Fields

For each dataset item, the following fields are provided:
- `dialogue_id`: unique dialogue identifier
- `turns`: list of speech turns, each turn contains the following fields:
  - `id`: turn index in the dialogue
  - `speaker`: identifier for the speaker (`user` or `system`)
  - `text`: turn utterance
  - `rdf-acts`: list of dialogue acts using string representation of rdf formalism
  each act has the form: `act(triple;...)` where `triple` is formatted as
  `(subject,predicate,object)`
- `states`: list of states for the dialogue, each entry contains the following fields:
  - `id`: state index in the dialogue
  - `multi_relations`: boolean indicating if multiple instances of the same predicate are
  allowed or not
  - `triples`: list of triples representing the graph state, each triple is a list of 3 string like
  `[subject,predicate,object]`
  - `turn_ids`: list of turn ids that contributed to this state


### Data Splits

For each dataset, splits were generated randomly in the following proportions:
- *train*: 80%
- *validation*: 16%
- *test*: 4%

## Dataset Creation

### Curation Rationale

This dataset has been created to work with graph base dialog state representation using
generative models (T5 family).

### Source Data

#### Initial Data Collection and Normalization

- *Converted datasets*:
  - DSTC2: https://github.com/matthen/dstc
  - Multiwoz 2.3: https://github.com/thu-coai/ConvLab-2
  - SfxDial: https://www.repository.cam.ac.uk/handle/1810/251304
- *Synthetic datasets*: rule-based simulations

#### Who are the source language producers?

- *Converted datasets*: see original datasets documentation
- *Synthetic datasets*: conversations were generated using an agenda-based user simulator and
a rule based agent working directly with dialogue acts. These conversations were then augmented
with natural language user/system utterances. Natural language generation was done using
a T5-base model fine-tuned on the converted datasets.

### Annotations

#### Annotation process

- *Converted datasets*: rule-based conversion of the user/system dialogue acts from slot-value
to RDF based format. The dialogue state is created automatically using another rule based
tracked working with triples. Some conversations could not be converted automatically and/or
contained wrong/confusing annotations and were removed from the dataset compared to the
original ones.
- *Synthetic datasets*: simulation work at the annotation level and the dataset was augmented
to include natural language information.

#### Who are the annotators?

All annotations were generated automatically.

For dialogue acts:
- converted data: rules were applied to convert slot-value based dialogue acts
to rdf-based ones
- synthetic data: rdf-based dialogue acts were directly generated by the dialogue simulation.

For dialogue states, a rule based system was using taking rdf-based dialogue acts as
its inputs.
