CMU SimDial: Synthetic Task-oriented Dialog Generator with Controllable Complexity

This is the dialog data used by our SIGDIAL 2018 paper: Zero-Shot Dialog Generation with Cross-Domain Latent Actions. See paper for details. The source code and data used for the paper can be found at here.

Prerequisites

• Python 2.7
• Numpy
• NLTK
• progressbar

Usage

Run the following code to generate dialog data for multiple domains that are defined in the multiple_domains.py script.

python multiple_domains.py

The data will be saved into two folders

test/ for testing data 
train/ for training data
