| | # AI Alignment Research Dataset |
| |
|
| | The AI Alignment Research Dataset is a collection of documents related to AI Alignment and Safety from various books, research papers, and alignment related blog posts. This is a work in progress. Components are still undergoing a cleaning process to be updated more regularly. |

| | |
| | ## Keys |
| | |
| | All entries contain the following keys: |
| | |
| | - `id` - string of unique identifier |
| | - `source` - string of data source listed above |
| | - `title` - string of document title of document |
| | - `authors` - list of strings |
| | - `text` - full text of document content |
| | - `url` - string of valid link to text content |
| | - `date_published` - in UTC format |
| |
|
| | Additional keys may be available depending on the source document. |
| |
|
| | ## Usage |
| |
|
| | Execute the following code to download and parse the files: |
| |
|
| | ```python |
| | from datasets import load_dataset |
| | data = load_dataset('StampyAI/alignment-research-dataset') |
| | ``` |
| |
|
| | To only get the data for a specific source, pass it in as the second argument, e.g.: |
| |
|
| | ```python |
| | from datasets import load_dataset |
| | data = load_dataset('StampyAI/alignment-research-dataset', 'lesswrong') |
| | ``` |
| |
|
| | ## Limitations and Bias |
| |
|
| | LessWrong posts have overweighted content on doom and existential risk, so please beware in training or finetuning generative language models on the dataset. |
| |
|
| | ## Contributing |
| |
|
| | The scraper to generate this dataset is open-sourced on [GitHub](https://github.com/StampyAI/alignment-research-dataset) and currently maintained by volunteers at StampyAI / AI Safety Info.

| |
|
| | ## Rebuilding info |
| |
|
| | This README contains info about the number of rows and their features which should be rebuilt each time datasets get changed. To do so, run: |
| |
|
| | datasets-cli test ./alignment-research-dataset --save_info --all_configs |
| | |
| | ## Citing the Dataset |
| |
|
| | For more information, here is the [paper](https://arxiv.org/abs/2206.02841) and [LessWrong](https://www.lesswrong.com/posts/FgjcHiWvADgsocE34/a-descriptive-not-prescriptive-overview-of-current-ai) post. Please use the following citation when using the dataset: |
