3-3-8 (2015-xx-xx) Dialog State Tracking Challenge 4
*****************************************************************
Dialog State Tracking Challenge 4 First Call for Participation April 1, 2015 (Registration opens) http://www.colips.org/workshop/dstc4/index.html ****************************************************************** *--- MOTIVATION ---* Dialog state tracking is one of the key sub-tasks of dialog management, which defines the representation of dialog states and updates them at each moment on a given on-going conversation. To provide a common benchmark for this task, the first Dialog State Tracking Challenge (DSTC) was organized [1]. More recently, Dialog State Tracking Challenges 2 & 3 have been successfully completed [2]. In this fourth edition of the Dialog State Tracking Challenge, we will focus on a dialog state tracking task on human-human dialogs. We expect these shared efforts on human dialogs will contribute to progress in developing much more human-like systems. In addition to the main task, we propose four pilot tracks for the core components in developing end-to-end dialog systems, and an open track based on the same dataset. The provided dataset consists of 35 dialog sessions between 3 tour guides and 35 tourists with a total length of 21 hours, plus their manual transcriptions and speech act and semantic labels annotations at turn level. *--- PROPOSED TASKS ---* Main task: ? Dialog State Tracking at Sub-dialog Level: Fill out the frame of slot-value pairs for the current sub-dialog considering all dialog history prior to the turn. A baseline system will be provided. Pilot tasks (optional): ? Spoken language understanding: Tag a given utterance with speech acts and semantic slots. ? Speech act prediction: Predict the speech act of the next turn imitating the policy of one speaker. ? Spoken language generation: Generate a response utterance for one of the participants. ? End-to-end system: Develop an end-to-end system playing the part of a guide or a tourist. Open track (optional): ? Proposed by teams willing to work on any task of their interest over the provided dataset *--- IMPORTANT DATES ---* 01 Apr 2015: Registration opens 15 Apr 2015: Labeled training data is released 17 Aug 2015: Unlabeled test data is released 31 Aug 2015: Entry submission deadline 04 Sep 2015: Evaluation results are released Jan 2016: Results presented at IWSDS 2016 *--- ORGANIZING COMMITTEE ---* Seokhwan Kim (I2R, Singapore) Luis Fernando D?Haro (I2R, Singapore) Rafael E.
