# VTuber Chats 2023 (Filtered, EN)

## Check out our improved dataset, [OSHIChats v1](https://huggingface.co/datasets/pykeio/oshichats-v1-2308).

A dataset of 8.72M high-quality filtered chat messages collected from various EN VTuber live streams. Contains data from Hololive, Nijisanji, idol Corp, and VShojo-affiliated livers, as well as a few independents.

Message contents contain the following special tokens:
- `<|liver|>` - refers to the liver that is hosting the stream the chat came from.
- `<|known-collaborator:{liverId}:{b64text}|>` - refers to a fellow liver that is confirmed to be present in the stream (determined via description & title `@tag`s), and the original token in base64 encoding.
- `<|maybe-collaborator:{liverId}:{b64text}|>` - refers to a fellow liver that could or could not be present in the stream, and the original token in base64 encoding.

About ~97% of EN liver names are successfully matched and replaced by the above special tokens. Nicknames that are too general (like "dad") were not matched, and livers from JP branches, staff, & mods were not included in content search.
