===========================================================================================
Background
The DSTC shared tasks have provided common testbeds for the dialog research community since 2013. From its sixth edition, it has been rebranded as "Dialog System Technology Challenge" to cover a wider variety of dialog-related problems. For this year's challenge, we will have two challenge periods – one in the summer and one in the winter. We opened the call for track proposals and selected the following five tracks by peer-reviews:
Summer Tracks:
Ambiguous Candidate Identification and Coreference Resolution for Immersive Multimodal Conversations
Intent Induction from Conversations for Task-Oriented Dialogue
Speech-Aware Dialog Systems Technology Challenge
Winter Tracks:
Robust and Multilingual Automatic Evaluation Metrics for Open-Domain Dialogue Systems
Task-oriented Conversational Modeling with Subjective Knowledge
Participation is welcomed from any research team (academic, corporate, non-profit, government). Participants can register here: https://forms.gle/e2qVGPPAhpp8Upt8A
