## [Dataset Structure](#dataset-structure)

We show detailed information for up to 5 configurations of the dataset.

### [Data Instances](#data-instances)

#### default

- **Size of downloaded dataset files:** 26.72 MB
- **Size of the generated dataset:** 23.97 MB
- **Total amount of disk used:** 50.69 MB

An example of 'train' looks as follows.
```
{
    "context": "sentimental",
    "conv_id": "hit:0_conv:1",
    "prompt": "I remember going to the fireworks with my best friend. There was a lot of people_comma_ but it only felt like us in the world.",
    "selfeval": "5|5|5_2|2|5",
    "speaker_idx": 1,
    "tags": "",
    "utterance": "I remember going to see the fireworks with my best friend. It was the first time we ever spent time alone together. Although there was a lot of people_comma_ we felt like the only people in the world.",
    "utterance_idx": 1
}
```

### [Data Fields](#data-fields)

The data fields are the same among all splits.

#### default
- `conv_id`: a `string` feature.
- `utterance_idx`: a `int32` feature.
- `context`: a `string` feature.
- `prompt`: a `string` feature.
- `speaker_idx`: a `int32` feature.
- `utterance`: a `string` feature.
- `selfeval`: a `string` feature.
- `tags`: a `string` feature.
