DuRecDial (Towards Conversational Recommendation over Multi-Type Dialogs)

We identify the task of conversational recommendation over multi-type dialogs. To facilitate the study of this task, we create a human-to-human Recommendation oriented multi-type Chinese Dialog dataset at BaiDu (DuRecDial). In DuRecDial, every dialog contains multi-type dialogs with natural topic transitions. Moreover, there are rich interaction variability for recommendation. In addition, each seeker has an explicit profile for the modeling of personalized recommendation, and multiple dialogs with the recommender to mimic real-world application scenarios. DuRecDial contains multi-type dialogs (Recommendation dialog, chitchat, Task-oriented dialogue and QA), 10.2K conversations from 7 domains (movie, star, music, news, food, poi, and weather), and 156K utterances. An example of DuRecDial:

  • kg provides all Background knowledge related to dialogue in the form of SPO..

  • user_profile includes some personal information, domain preference and entity preference of users.

  • goals contains the dialog topic transfer path of dialog session.

  • situation includes the time, place and topic of the dialogue.

  • conversation is a list of all the turns in the dialogue.

Model

Due to some problems in the internal process, the model cannot be open source for the time being. As an alternative, you can use the baseline model of the LIC 2020 competition.

Competitions

We hold competitions to encourage more researchers to work in this direction.
