About datasets that can be used in this challenge

[dlion168]

Can we use additional datasets to train the LLM that we plan to use in this challenge?

[YuanGongND]

thanks for your interest and question.

After discussing with other organizers, we decide to allow using additional training datasets (with a purpose to maximize freedom while ensuring fairness, and taking into account the large volume of training data required by large language models.), but the additional datasets cannot include IEMOCAP (we will provide a portion of IEMOCAP as training data, and use some part of the rest as evaluation set). You also need to mention the additional dataset used in the paper.

We updated the rule in the readme file of this repo.

Please let me know if you have any further question.
