curious about Alpaca and Vicuna datasets used in the training.

[Maxlinn]

hi to the team, thanks for your hard work and mPLUG-Owl demostrated great performance!

during reading the paper, i found that in "4.1 Experimental Setup/Data and Training Details.", it said "we gather pure text instruction data from three distinct sources: 102k data from the Alpaca [Taori et al., 2023], 90k from the Vicuna [Vicuna, 2023], and 50k from the Baize [Xu et al., 2023a]."

however, to my knowledge

• the alpaca dataset only has 52k examples
• vicuna has not released their dataset yet due to some concern.

would you mind sharing more information about the datasets? thanks a lot!

Hi, thanks for having interest in our work.

For the dataset information:

• We have the typo in the number of dataset from alpaca, the actual number is 52k as you stated.
• For Vicuna, you can refer to its issue where people share the ShareGPT dataset on huggingface. Used as your own risk. Data
