Dataset Summary

This is the Business Scene Dialogue (BSD) dataset, a Japanese-English parallel corpus containing written conversations in various business scenarios.

The dataset was constructed in 3 steps:

1. selecting business scenes,
2. writing monolingual conversation scenarios according to the selected scenes, and
3. translating the scenarios into the other language.

Half of the monolingual scenarios were written in Japanese and the other half were written in English.
