This version was created to maintain compatibility with newer versions of the Hugging Face datasets library.

Changes from the Original Dataset

The following changes were made:

  • —Removed the unused label_candidates column.
  • —Removed the invalid label_candidates feature definition (sequence: null) that caused schema parsing failures.
  • —Re-exported the dataset Parquet files with a corrected schema.
  • —Updated dataset metadata to match the exported files.

No conversation examples were modified.

No examples were added or removed.

Blended Skill Talk

Dataset Summary

Blended Skill Talk is a conversational dataset designed to train and evaluate dialogue systems capable of combining multiple conversational skills.

The dataset combines persona-based conversation, empathetic dialogue, and knowledge-grounded conversation elements to encourage models to produce engaging, context-aware responses.

The dataset incorporates information from ConvAI2, EmpatheticDialogues, and Wizard of Wikipedia.
