Introduction

This program converts data obtained from the subreddit r/changemyview into a cleaner format for further data processing. The data is not clean enough to be used directly in a model yet, and additional preprocessing is required.

Data Format

The cleaned data is stored in an Apache Parquet file with the following columns:

Column Name	Description	Data Type
INSTRUCTION	Post title + body text	String
RESPONSE	Body text of comments attempting to change OP's mind of INSTRUCTION.	List<String>
SOURCE	Permalink to the reddit post	String
METADATA	Metadata related to RESPONSE.	Dict<Variant>

Metadata

Currently, metadata is only broken into one category:

• detoxify_labels- A Dictionary of values outputted by the Unitaryai Detoxifier model, fitted to every comment under any given post.

Usage

To use the program, follow these instructions:

1. Clone the repository - git clone https://github.com/LAION-AI/Open-Assistant.git
2. Navigate to the project directory - cd notebooks/data-augmentation/changemyview-builder
3. Open the Jupyter Notebook - jupyter notebook data_processor.ipynb
4. Run the program - Go through the notebook and run the cells
