Describe the bug

I downloaded the zip and extracted it.

Now I got this error:

Processing corpus into lines and conversations...

Describe your environment

I just clicked on the Collab Notebook button and ran it

I think the utterances.json1 file is missing a closing quotation mark in the error line. Maybe it can be fixed by adding the quotation mark and saving it.

Hello, I think they have fixed the dataset since I ran the code without any issues.

@levalencia were you able to resolve this? I am still facing this issue. I downloaded the notebook from this URL and ran it in google colab: https://pytorch.org/tutorials/beginner/chatbot_tutorial.html

Downloaded dataset from here: https://zissou.infosci.cornell.edu/convokit/datasets/movie-corpus/movie-corpus.zip
