what is the format to write json file for question answering system???

[salama4ai]

i need to write json file to use it in fine tuning question answering model, what is the json format for this task, where every conversation consists of only one question and only one answer, i.e no back and forth,exact one question and one answer, and then another completely different question and answer

assume i need to write this example:

text: where is the school ??? label: go strait forward .
text: what is your name ??? label: my name is jone .

If your entire dataset is as simple as your mentioned here (eg, "text: where is the school ??? label: go strait forward ."), you don't need a json file. You can simply use your text file, as we explained here.

Thanks, could you also add the ParlAI command you used that resulted in this output please?
According to the last error message it can not find your file. Are you sure you had the right path and you use it with the right flag?

%cd {p}/ParlAI/
!python parlai/scripts/display_data.py --task jsonfile --jsonfile-datapath {p}/ParlAI/data/f_train.json

Ok, I see what might be the problem now. Please have a look at the example json file here. I just tried that with the following command and it did show me the conversations:

parlai display_data --task jsonfile --jsonfile-datapath {YOUR PARLAI PATH}/parlai/tasks/jsonfile/example_data.json

Either you do not have the correct path to the file, or your json file does not have the correct format. For the latter case you can fix it by copying the format from the sample file I linked above.

well, instead of the example json file you gave ??

what if i need to write different kind of conversation; i need to write conversation like that:
{ "dialog": [ [
{"id": "question", "text": "what is the color of the sky???"}, {"id": "answer", "text": "it's color is blue"},
{"id": "question", "text": "what is the expensive metal"}, {"id": "answer", "text": "gold is the expensive"} ] ]}
is the previous format is correct???

or do i need to write:-
[{"id":1, "dialog": [ {"id": "question", "text": "what is the color of the sky???"}, {"id": "answer", "text": "it's color is blue"} ]},
{"id":2, "dialog": [{"id": "question", "text": "what is the expensive metal"}, {"id": "answer", "text": "gold is the expensive"} ] }]
ans so on

or what i need to write?? what is json format i need to write?
as the example you gave is only one dialogue what if it's multiple separated dialogues as i need?

Thank you so much for your interesting for helping me

Considering the definition of the JsonTeacher (link), I recommend you looking at the ConversationTeacher here, and its docstring for the expected format.
