The DSTC shared task has now been running since 2013. This year’s challenge has been renamed to Dialog System Technology Challenge, which reflects the wider scope we aim for.

The DSTC6 challenge will include 3-4 tracks, which should reflect the interests of the community. We would like to encourage you to submit a track proposal for dialog related technologies including but not limited to:

- end-to-end systems
- dialogue state tracking
- spoken language understanding
- natural language generation for SDS
- dialogue breakdown detection
- automatic evaluation metrics
- question-answering
- text to API call

We will ask the community to cast expressions of interest via an online voting system in order to ensure sufficient numbers of participants per track.

Schedule:
- 13 Feb 2017: Track Proposal Submission
- 15 Feb - 1 March: Voting Period
- 3 Mar 2017: Notification
