It proposes an extension of the task, incorporating new elements that are vital for the creation of a deployed task-oriented dialogue system. Specifically, three new dimensions are added to the challenge:\r\n\r\n- Conversations with more than 2 participants\r\n- Predicting whether a dialogue has solved the problem yet,\r\n- Handling multiple simultaneous conversations. Each of these adds an exciting new dimension and brings the task closer to the creation of systems able to handle the complexity of real-world conversation.\r\n- This challenge is offered with two goal oriented dialog datasets, used in 4 subtasks. \r\n\r\nSource: [Dialog System Technology Challenges 8 (DSTC 8) - Track 2](https://github.com/dstc8-track2/NOESIS-II/)\r\n\r\nImage source: [DSTC 8 Track 2](https://github.com/dstc8-track2/NOESIS-II/)","description_withheld":null,"homepage":"https://github.com/dstc8-track2/NOESIS-II/","introduced_date":null,"introduced_date_note":null,"introduced_by":null,"license":null,"modalities":[{"name":"Texts","url":"/datasets/modality/texts"}],"tasks":[],"languages":[{"name":"English","url":"/datasets/language/english"}],"variants":["DSTC 8 Track 2"],"data_loaders":[{"repo":"https://github.com/dstc8-track2/NOESIS-II","url":"https://github.com/dstc8-track2/NOESIS-II","frameworks":[]}],"num_papers_in_archive":0,"source":{"archive":"pwc-archive (Hugging Face), CC BY-SA 4.0","snapshot":"2025-07-28"},"benchmarks":[],"papers_with_a_benchmark_row":[],"syntology_totals":{"read_at":"2026-09-24T18:15:14+00:00","papers_with_samples":0,"samples_harvested":0,"samples_ran":0,"samples_unverified":0,"pointer_only_for_licence":0,"papers_with_no_sample_that_ran":0,"note":"the per-paper counts above, summed; not a rate"},"papers_note":"The archive never published its papers-using-dataset list; these are papers with a leaderboard row on this dataset's benchmarks."}
