Pipe ("|") separated slot values

[pietrolesci]

Hi there,

I am using this version of the dataset and I have noticed that for 436 dialogue turns there are slot values that are separated by a pipe ("|"). For example

• Why is this the case?
• It appears the correct one is always the first when splitting on the "|" character; is it correct to do this?

Thanks a lot in advance for your time!

Hi,

Thanks for your interest in this dataset. When there is a pipe, the slot has multiple values, which is not common in this dataset, but there are indeed some. You can also check the MultiWOZ 2.4 paper for more details.
