| # emoBooks Dataset 📚✨ |
|
|
| ## Overview |
| The **emoBooks** dataset is a curated collection of conversational samples designed to train AI models for **emotion-aware book recommendations**. It focuses on understanding user emotions and providing relevant book suggestions in "Singlish" (transliterated Sinhala). |
|
|
| The dataset follows a **Match/Switch** logic: |
| - **Match**: Recommend books that align with the user's current emotional state. |
| - **Switch**: Recommend books that help transition the user to a more positive emotional state (e.g., from Sadness to Joy). |
|
|
| ## Dataset Structure |
| The dataset is provided in a standard **ChatML/OpenAI format**, making it ideal for instruction fine-tuning of models like Llama-3, Mistral, or Gemma. |
|
|
| ### Format |
| Each entry is a JSON object with a `messages` list: |
| ```json |
| { |
| "messages": [ |
| { "role": "user", "content": "I feel very lonely and sad today." }, |
| { "role": "assistant", "content": "I can sense you're feeling that way. Would you like a book that matches your current mood, or something to help you switch to a more positive state?" }, |
| { "role": "user", "content": "I'd like something that matches how I feel." }, |
| { "role": "assistant", "content": "I understand. Since you're looking for something that matches your mood, I recommend 'Maha Nidagala Saha Abirahasa' by 'Dhigala'. It's a deep 'Translations' book that resonates with those feelings." } |
| ] |
| } |
| ``` |
|
|
| ## Emotion Categories |
| The dataset covers 8 primary emotional states: |
| 1. **Sadness** (0) |
| 2. **Joy** (1) |
| 3. **Love** (2) |
| 4. **Anger** (3) |
| 5. **Fear** (4) |
| 6. **Surprise** (5) |
| 7. **Disgust** (6) |
| 8. **Calm** (7) |
|
|
| ## Book Categories |
| The recommendations include various genres: |
| - Children's Stories (ළමා කතා) |
| - Novels (නවකතා) |
| - Translations (පරිවර්තන) |
| - Biographies (චරිතාපදාන) |
| - Short Stories (කෙටි කතා) |
|
|
| ## Data Generation |
| This dataset was synthetically generated using a custom pipeline that: |
| 1. Transliterated Sinhala book titles and authors into Singlish. |
| 2. Mapped book categories to primary emotions. |
| 3. Generated conversational templates for various user-assistant interactions. |
|
|
| ## Intended Use |
| This dataset is intended for: |
| - Fine-tuning Large Language Models (LLMs) for recommendation systems. |
| - Research in emotion-aware conversational AI. |
| - Developing bilingual (Sinhala/English) literary assistants. |
