# Dolly 15k Curated

## Dataset Details

### Dataset Description

A filtered and curated dataset version of https://huggingface.co/datasets/databricks/databricks-dolly-15k. Saved in HF Chat format. The result is a high quality dataset for SFT.

- **Created by:** [dctanner](https://huggingface.co/dctanner) and the team at [Sablo AI](https://sablo.ai)
- **License:** CC BY-SA 3.0

## Dataset Structure

We structure the dataset using the format commonly used as input into [Hugging Face Chat Templates](https://huggingface.co/docs/transformers/chat_templating):

```
[
   {"role": "user", "content": "Hello, how are you?"},
   {"role": "assistant", "content": "I'm doing great. How can I help you today?"}
]
```

## Dataset Creation

### Source Data

- **Source Dataset:** https://huggingface.co/datasets/databricks/databricks-dolly-15k

#### Data Collection and Processing

We started with https://huggingface.co/datasets/databricks/databricks-dolly-15k.

Filtering and curation was done to remove conversations with:
- Duplicate or very similar responses
- Responses where the AI was actually responding like a person (present in this dataset as the responses are created by humans pretending to be an AI, and no everyone followed these instructions closely)
- Profanity or inappropriate responses for an AI
- Very short response lengths (often below 50 or 200 characters)
