EmpatheticDialogues
The EmpatheticDialogues dataset is a large-scale multi-turn empathetic dialogue dataset collected on the Amazon Mechanical Turk, containing 24,850 one-to-one open-domain conversations. Each conversation was obtained by pairing two crowd-workers: a speaker and a listener. The speaker is asked to talk about the personal emotional feelings. The listener infers the underlying emotion through what the speaker says and responds empathetically. The dataset provides 32 evenly distributed emotion labels.

Papers archive 2025-07-28
2 shown of 2 papers with a leaderboard row on this dataset's benchmarks, newest first. The archive's own "papers using this dataset" list was never published, so this is the benchmark-backed subset; the archive's count for this dataset is 64. The Syntology column is from Syntology's graph (read 2026-09-24), stated per sample; it is not part of any archive number.
