# roleplay-slm-mix
A curated multi-source conversation corpus for training small (sub-1B) language
models to do persona-consistent roleplay chat. All conversations are normalized to
a strict `User:` / `Assistant:` turn format with an optional persona/scene header.
Built for the TinyRole program (byte-level tiny SLMs).

**`character-llm-chat.txt` is NON-COMMERCIAL (CC-BY-NC-4.0).** It is a separate
file so the MIT-licensed files stay permissive. Do not use it commercially.
**Coming in v2:** RoleBench train split (Apache-2.0, ~85 MB — eval test split stays
out), PIPPA-filtered (Apache-2.0, pending NSFW filter pass).
**Deliberately excluded (unlicensed — cannot redistribute):** WorryFree scenarios,
hieunguyenminh/roleplay, AlekseyKorshuk synthetic trio. Used in training but not
redistributable.
## Format
Each conversation is a text block, blocks separated by a blank line:
```
[optional persona/scene header line]
User: <first user turn>
Assistant: <first assistant turn>
User: ...
Assistant: ...
```
Persona headers (when present) are a single capitalized line describing the
character/scene, NOT prefixed with a role.
## Per-source cleaning
- **coser-clean**: 771 classic-book characters. Strict User/Assistant alternation
(merged consecutive same-role turns), name-prefix and stage-direction/asterisk
stripping, dropped < 4-turn conversations. 305k raw → 76,004 clean.
- **mmrole-chat**: 85 characters, text-only extraction from the multimodal dataset
(image references dropped; scene-description user turns retained). MIT.
- **character-llm-chat**: 9 historical/literary figures (Beethoven, Cleopatra,
Caesar, Hermione, Newton, Socrates, Spartacus, Voldemort, MLK) via Experience
Reconstruction (EMNLP 2023). Character role → Assistant, interlocutor → User.
CC-BY-NC-4.0.
## Intended use
Fine-tuning small chat/roleplay models, as the final chat/persona stage of a
curriculum (grounding → narrative → this mix).
