# Dataset Card for Portuguese Chat

We know that current English-first LLMs don’t work well for many other languages, both in terms of performance, latency, and speed. Building instruction datasets for non-English languages is an important challenge that needs to be solved.

Dedicated towards addressing this problem, I release 3 new datasets [rishiraj/portuguesechat](https://huggingface.co/datasets/rishiraj/portuguesechat/), [rishiraj/bengalichat](https://huggingface.co/datasets/rishiraj/bengalichat/) & [rishiraj/hindichat](https://huggingface.co/datasets/rishiraj/hindichat/) of 10,000 instructions and demonstrations each. This data can be used for supervised fine-tuning (SFT) to make language multilingual models follow instructions better.

### Dataset Summary

[rishiraj/portuguesechat](https://huggingface.co/datasets/rishiraj/portuguesechat/) was modelled after the instruction dataset described in OpenAI's [InstructGPT paper](https://huggingface.co/papers/2203.02155), and is translated from [HuggingFaceH4/no_robots](https://huggingface.co/datasets/HuggingFaceH4/no_robots/) which comprised mostly of single-turn instructions across the following categories:

| Category   |   Count |
|:-----------|--------:|
| Generation |    4560 |
| Open QA    |    1240 |
| Brainstorm |    1120 |
| Chat       |     850 |
| Rewrite    |     660 |
| Summarize  |     420 |
| Coding     |     350 |
| Classify   |     350 |
| Closed QA  |     260 |
| Extract    |     190 |

### Languages

The data in [rishiraj/portuguesechat](https://huggingface.co/datasets/rishiraj/portuguesechat/) are in Portuguese (BCP-47 pt).

### Data Fields

The data fields are as follows:

* `prompt`: Describes the task the model should perform.
* `prompt_id`: A unique ID for the prompt.
* `messages`: An array of messages, where each message indicates the role (system, user, assistant) and the content.
* `category`: Which category the example belongs to (e.g. `Chat` or `Coding`).
* `text`: Content of `messages` in a format that is compatible with dataset_text_field of SFTTrainer.
