Taskmaster
This is a large task-oriented dialog dataset in which a model has to produce the response. The input contains the context and a structured representation of what the model is supposed to generate. The input is already pre-formatted as string, turning this into a pure text-to-text problem.
You can load the dataset via:
import datasets
data = datasets.load_dataset('GEM/Taskmaster')
The data loader can be found here.
