Amazon has released a dataset of 11,000 conversations from workers on Mechanical Turk, Amazon’s platform for hiring remote workers for on-demand tasks, to help train AI systems to understand common-sense phrases. Individual prompts in the dataset are accompanied by longer, contextualized conversations to train AI systems to make common-sense inferences from the prompt, such as the emotional state of the speaker, and respond accordingly.
