Zulipiye Yusupujiang, Jonathan Ginzburg · 2022
In this paper, we introduce a carefully designed and collected language resource: UgChDial -a Uyghur dialogue corpus based on a chatroom environment.The Uyghur Chat-based Dialogue Corpus (UgChDial) is divided into two parts: (1).Two-party dialogues and (2).Multi-party dialogues.We ran a series of 25, 120-minutes each, two-party chat sessions, totaling 7323 turns and 1581 question-response pairs.We created 16 different scenarios and topics to gather these two-party conversations.The multi-party conversations were compiled from chitchats in general channels as well as free chats in topic-oriented public channels, yielding 5588 unique turns and 838 question-response pairs.The initial purpose of this corpus is to study query-response pairs in Uyghur, building on an existing fine-grained response space taxonomy for English.We provide here initial annotation results on the Uyghur response space classification task using UgChDial.
