### Supported Tasks and Leaderboards

Used for QA tasks. There is also a COVID-19 dialogue generation model available for the Chinese Data. The pre-print and more information is available in [this arxiv pre-print](https://arxiv.org/abs/2005.05442).

### Languages

Monolingual. The datasets are in English (EN) and Chinese (ZH)

## Dataset Structure

### Data Instances

An example of dialogue is:

```
{
	'dialogue_id': 602, 
	'dialogue_url': 'https://www.healthtap.com/member/fg?page=/search/covid', 
	'dialogue_turns': [{'speaker': 'Patient', 
			    'utterance': 'Can coronavirus symptoms be mild for some people versus severe? For example, could it just involve being very fatigued, low grade fever for a few days and not the extreme symptoms? Or is it always a full blown cold and struggle to breathe?Can coronavirus symptoms be mild for some people versus severe? For example, could it just involve being very fatigued, low grade fever for a few days and not the extreme symptoms? Or is it always a full blown cold and struggle to breathe?'}, 
                           {'speaker': 'Doctor', 
                            'utterance': 'In brief:   Symptoms vary.   Some may have no symptoms at all. Some can be life threatening.   Would you like to video or text chat with me?'}]
}
```

The dataset is built from [icliniq.com](https://www.icliniq.com/), [healthcaremagic.com](https://www.healthcaremagic.com/), [healthtap.com](https://www.healthtap.com/) and all copyrights of the data belong to these websites. _(for English)_

The dataset is built from [Haodf.com](https://www.haodf.com/) and all copyrights of the data belong to [Haodf.com](https://www.haodf.com/).  _(for Chinese)_

### Data Fields

Each consultation consists of the below:
- ID
- URL
- Description of patient’s medical condition
- Dialogue
- Diagnosis and suggestions (Optional, mostly for Chinese)

For generating the QA only the below fields have been considered:
- ID : Consultatation Identifier (restarts for each file)
- URL: The url link of the extracted conversation
- Dialogue : The conversation between the doctor and the patient.

These are arranged as below in the prepared dataset. Each item will be represented with these parameters.

- "file_name": string - signifies the file from which the conversation was extracted
- "dialogue_id": int32 - the dialogue id
- "dialogue_url": string - url of the conversation
- "dialogue_turns": datasets.Sequence - sequence of dialogues between patient and the doctor.Consists ClassLabel(names=["病人", "医生"]), and "utterance"(string) for each turn. (ClassLable(names=["Patient", "Doctor"]) for english)
