Stackexchange Instructions for OpenAssistant

This dataset is taken from https://archive.org/details/stackexchange.

There's a single parquet file combining all stackexchange sites. The threads have been filtered as follows: only threads with an accepted answer, for which both the question and response is less than 1000 characters have been chosen. Other answers, or questions without accepted answers, or long entries have been dropped.

Each row consists of

• INSTRUCTION
• RESPONSE
• SOURCE («stackexchange-ai«)
• METADATA (tags, question_score, answer_score).
