Dataset Structure

Data Format

Each sample contains a messages field with a list of conversation turns:

{
  "messages": [
    {
      "role": "system",
      "content": "Bạn là một trợ lý y tế ảo thông minh..."
    },
    {

• Act as a professional online medical consultant
• Provide informative, guidance-oriented responses
• Explain possible causes
• Always recommend visiting healthcare facilities for accurate diagnosis
• Never replace professional medical diagnosis

Usage

Loading the Dataset

dataset = load_dataset("quannguyen204/medical_sft_crawl_vi_10k_v1")

# Access training data
train_data = dataset["train"]
print(f"Number of samples: {len(train_data)}")

# Preview a sample
print(train_data[0])

Training with TRL

from trl import SFTTrainer, SFTConfig

# Use with SFTTrainer
trainer = SFTTrainer(
    model=model,
    train_dataset=dataset["train"],
    # ... other config
)
