ExpBot - A dataset of 79 dialogs with an experimental customer service chatbot

This dataset consists of 79 dialogs between a human user and a chatbot in English language. This data was collected during an online experiment conducted by the research group "Information Systems & Service Design" at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT).

Experimental task:
Participants were asked to interact with a chatbot to find out whether they could save money by switching to a better mobile phone plan. Additionally, there were shown a fictitious copy of last month's mobile phone bill. During the conversation, the chatbot asked about the participant's usage patterns (e.g., how much data was used) and recommended a randomly generated plan that better met the participant’s requirements. For more information, see Gnewuch et al. (2018).

WARNING!
Some dialogs contain profanity and/or offensive language. Profanity was not removed because it is important for calculating sentiment scores.
