The Eighth Dialog System Technology Challenge
This is an incremental challenge paper that organizes and benchmarks dialog system technologies for researchers and practitioners in the field.
The paper introduces the Eighth Dialog System Technology Challenge, which focuses on applying end-to-end dialog technologies to tasks like multi-domain task-completion and audio visual scene-aware dialog, and summarizes the results of submitted systems to highlight state-of-the-art trends.
This paper introduces the Eighth Dialog System Technology Challenge. In line with recent challenges, the eighth edition focuses on applying end-to-end dialog technologies in a pragmatic way for multi-domain task-completion, noetic response selection, audio visual scene-aware dialog, and schema-guided dialog state tracking tasks. This paper describes the task definition, provided datasets, and evaluation set-up for each track. We also summarize the results of the submitted systems to highlight the overall trends of the state-of-the-art technologies for the tasks.
