Portuguese Cultural SFT Dataset
A supervised fine-tuning dataset for European Portuguese (PT-PT) cultural knowledge, built to teach models the traditions, figures, places, and expressions of Portuguese culture.
The dataset contains 216,832 examples across two versions in conversational SFT format, organised into ten cultural domains:
The data spans seven task types: Verification, short and long question-answering, cultural-context reasoning, entity comparison, multi-turn dialogue (persona-diversified) and proverb meaning explanation.
Two files are available: culture_data_sft.jsonl (v1) and culture_data_sft_v2.jsonl (v2). For training on all data, use both files combined.
This dataset is provided as part of the AMALIA project and is included in the data mix used to post-train the AMALIA model.
