**Dataset Summary:**

InstructMix is a comprehensive combined dataset that offers diverse instructional content for a range of tasks. It includes data from various sources, such as code instructions, poems, essays, medical texts, and more. This dataset is designed to support natural language processing (NLP) research, model training, and evaluation across different domains.

**Dataset Contents:**

The dataset contains a collection of instructional data with corresponding inputs and outputs. Each entry has an "Input" field that contains the instructional content, and an "Output" field that represents the corresponding response or completion. Here is a list of the datasets used:

- Locutusque/ColumnedChatCombined
- TokenBender/code_instructions_120k_alpaca_style
- Open-Orca/OpenOrca
- vicgalle/alpaca-gpt4
- ChristophSchuhmann/essays-with-instructions
- checkai/instruction-poems
- pubmed_qa
- BI55/MedText
- nampdn-ai/tiny-codes

It contains two of the following columns:
- Input (string)
- Output (string)


These should hopefully be self-explanatory
