Overview

This dataset is of conversations extracted from Aozora Bunko (青空文庫), which collects public-domain books in Japan, using a simple heuristic approach.

Method

First, lines surrounded by quotation mark pairs (「」) are extracted as utterances from the text field of globis-university/aozorabunko-clean. Then, consecutive utterances are collected and grouped together.

The code to reproduce this dataset is made available on GitHub: globis-org/aozorabunko-exctractor.

Notice

As the conversations are extracted using a simple heuristic, a certain amount of the data may actually be monologues.

Tips

If you prefer to employ only modern Japanese, you can filter entries with: row["meta"]["文字遣い種別"] == "新字新仮名".
