Image-Chat

Introduced by Kurt Shuster et al. in Image-Chat: Engaging Grounded Conversations1 Jul 2020 archive 2025-07-28

The IMAGE-CHAT dataset is a large collection of (image, style trait for speaker A, style trait for speaker B, dialogue between A & B) tuples that we collected using crowd-workers, Each dialogue consists of consecutive turns by speaker A and B. No particular constraints are placed on the kinds of utterance, only that we ask the speakers to both use the provided style trait, and to respond to the given image and dialogue history in an engaging way. The goal is not just to build a diagnostic dataset but a basis for training models that humans actually want to engage with.
