Dataset Summary

Task-oriented dialog systems need to know when a query falls outside their range of supported intents, but current text classification corpora only define label sets that cover every example. We introduce a new dataset that includes queries that are out-of-scope (OOS), i.e., queries that do not fall into any of the system's supported intents. This poses a new challenge because models cannot assume that every query at inference time belongs to a system-supported intent class. Our dataset also covers 150 intent classes over 10 domains, capturing the breadth that a production task-oriented agent must handle. It offers a way of more rigorously and realistically benchmarking text classification in task-driven dialog systems.

Supported Tasks and Leaderboards

• intent-classification: This dataset is for evaluating the performance of intent classification systems in the presence of "out-of-scope" queries, i.e., queries that do not fall into any of the system-supported intent classes. The dataset includes both in-scope and out-of-scope data. here.

Dataset Structure

Data Instances

A sample from the training set is provided below:

{
    'text' : 'can you walk me through setting up direct deposits to my bank of internet savings account',
    'label' : 108 
}

Data Fields

• text : Textual data
• label : 150 intent classes over 10 domains, the dataset contains one label for 'out-of-scope' intent.

The Label Id to Label Name map is mentioned in the table below:

Data Splits

The dataset comes in different subsets:

• small : Small, in which there are only 50 training queries per each in-scope intent
• imbalanced : Imbalanced, in which intents have either 25, 50, 75, or 100 training queries.
• plus: OOS+, in which there are 250 out-of-scope training examples, rather than 100.
