Data Selection for Multi-turn Dialogue Instruction Tuning

Instruction-tuned language models increasingly rely on large multi-turn dialogue corpora, but these datasets are often noisy and structurally inconsistent, with topic drift, repetitive chitchat, and mismatched answer formats across turns. We address this from a data selection perspective and propose \textbf{MDS} (Multi-turn Dialogue Selection), a dialogue-level framework that scores whole conversations rather than isolated turns. MDS combines a global coverage stage that performs bin-wise selection in the user-query trajectory space to retain representative yet non-redundant dialogues, with a local structural stage that evaluates within-dialogue reliability through entity-grounded topic grounding and information progress, together with query-answer form consistency for functional alignment. MDS outperforms strong single-turn selectors, dialogue-level LLM scorers, and heuristic baselines on three multi-turn benchmarks and an in-domain Banking test set, achieving the best overall rank across reference-free and reference-based metrics, and is more robust on long conversations under the same training budget. Code and resources are included in the supplementary materials.
