Data Format

Please take a look the data sample file. In general, each row is one sentence for monologue (or utterance for dialogue) and its corresponding label, separated by TAB.

For test or the label is unknown, please use -1 as label.

In addition, "===" is used as document boundary, to separate one document from its preceding and following document.
