Dataset Card for KdConv

Dataset Summary

KdConv is a Chinese multi-domain Knowledge-driven Conversionsation dataset, grounding the topics in multi-turn conversations to knowledge graphs. KdConv contains 4.5K conversations from three domains (film, music, and travel), and 86K utterances with an average turn number of 19.0. These conversations contain in-depth discussions on related topics and natural transition between multiple topics, while the corpus can also used for exploration of transfer learning and domain adaptation.

Supported Tasks and Leaderboards

This dataset can be leveraged for dialogue modelling tasks involving multi-turn and Knowledge base setup.

Languages

This dataset has only Chinese Language.

Dataset Structure

Data Instances

Each data instance is a multi-turn conversation between 2 people with annotated knowledge base data used while talking , e.g.:

{
  "messages": [
    {
      "message": "对《我喜欢上你时的内心活动》这首歌有了解吗？"
    },
    {
      "attrs": [
        {
          "attrname": "Information",
          "attrvalue": "《我喜欢上你时的内心活动》是由韩寒填词，陈光荣作曲，陈绮贞演唱的歌曲，作为电影《喜欢你》的主题曲于2017年4月10日首发。2018年，该曲先后提名第37届香港电影金像奖最佳原创电影歌曲奖、第7届阿比鹿音乐奖流行单曲奖。",
          "name": "我喜欢上你时的内心活动"
        }
      ],
      "message": "有些了解，是电影《喜欢你》的主题曲。"
    },
    ...
    {
      "attrs": [
        {
          "attrname": "代表作品",
          "attrvalue": "旅行的意义",
          "name": "陈绮贞"
        },
        {
          "attrname": "代表作品",
          "attrvalue": "时间的歌",
          "name": "陈绮贞"
        }
      ],
      "message": "我还知道《旅行的意义》与《时间的歌》，都算是她的代表作。"
    },
    {
      "message": "好，有时间我找出来听听。"
    }
  ],
  "name": "我喜欢上你时的内心活动"
}

The corresponding entries in Knowledge base is a dictionary with list of knowledge base triplets (head entity , relationship, tail entity), e.g.:

"忽然之间": [
  [
    "忽然之间",
    "Information",
    "《忽然之间》是歌手 莫文蔚演唱的歌曲，由 周耀辉， 李卓雄填词， 林健华谱曲，收录在莫文蔚1999年发行专辑《 就是莫文蔚》里。"
  ],
  [
    "忽然之间",
    "谱曲",
    "林健华"
  ]
  ...
]

Data Fields

Conversation data fields:

• name: the starting topic (entity) of the conversation
• domain: the domain this sample belongs to. Categorical value among {travel, film, music}
• messages: list of all the turns in the dialogue. For each turn:
  • message: the utterance
  • attrs: list of knowledge graph triplets referred by the utterance. For each triplet:
    • name: the head entity
    • attrname: the relation
    • attrvalue: the tail entity

Knowledge Base data fields:

• head_entity: the head entity
• kb_triplets: list of corresponding triplets
• domain: the domain this sample belongs to. Categorical value among {travel, film, music}

Data Splits

The conversation dataset is split into a train, validation, and test split with the following sizes:

	train	validation	test
travel	1200	1200	1200
film	1200	150	150
music	1200	150	150
all	3600	450	450

The Knowledge base dataset is having only train split with following sizes:

	train
travel	1154
film	8090
music	4441
all	13685
