ConvLab-3 is a flexible dialog system platform based on a unified data format for task-oriented dialog (TOD) datasets. The unified format serves as the adapter between TOD datasets and models: datasets are first transformed to the unified format and then loaded by models. In this way, the cost of adapting
- 2022.11.30: ConvLab-3 release.
You can install ConvLab-3 in one of the following ways according to your need. Higher versions of torch and transformers may also work.
For the latest and most configurable version, we recommend installing ConvLab-3 in development mode.
Clone the newest repository:
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/ConvLab/ConvLab-3.gitInstall ConvLab-3 via pip:
cd ConvLab-3
pip install -e .To use ConvLab-3 as an off-the-shelf tool, you can install via:
pip install convlabNote that the data directory will not be included due to the package size limitation.
We also provide Dockerfile for building docker. Basically it uses the requirement.txt and then installs ConvLab-3 in development mode.
# create image
docker build -t convlab .
# run container
docker run -dit convlab
# open bash in container
docker exec -it CONTAINER_ID bash- Getting Started (Have a try on Colab!)

Unified datasets are available under data/unified_datasets directory as well as Hugging Face Hub. We will continue adding more datasets listed in this issue. If you want to add a listed/custom dataset to ConvLab-3, you can create an issue for discussion and then create pull-request. We will list you as the contributors and highly appreciate your contributions!
We list newly integrated models in ConvLab-3 that support unified data format and obtain strong performance. You can follow the link for more details about these models. Other models can be used in the same way as in ConvLab-2.
| Task | Models | Input | Output |
|---|---|---|---|
| Response Generation | T5 | Context | Response |
| Goal-to-Dialogue | T5 | Goal | Dialog |
| Natural Language Understanding | T5, BERTNLU, MILU | Context | DA-U |
| Dialog State Tracking | T5, SUMBT, SetSUMBT, TripPy | Context | State |
| RL Policy | DDPT, PPO, PG | State, DA-U, DB | DA-S |
| Word-Policy | LAVA | Context, State, DB | Response |
| Natural Language Generation | T5, SC-GPT | DA-S | Response |
| End-to-End | SOLOIST | Context, DB | State, Response |
| User simulator | TUS, GenTUS | Goal, DA-S | DA-U, (Response) |
Trained models are available on Hugging Face Hub.
We welcome contributions from community. Please see issues to find what we need.
- If you want to add a new dataset, model, or other feature, please describe the dataset/model/feature in an issue with corresponding issue template before creating pull-request.
- Small change like fixing a bug can be directly made by a pull-request.
