In\nthe area of dialogue systems, the trend is less obvious, and most practical\nsystems are still built through significant engineering and expert knowledge.\nNevertheless, several recent results suggest that data-driven approaches are\nfeasible and quite promising. To facilitate research in this area, we have\ncarried out a wide survey of publicly available datasets suitable for\ndata-driven learning of dialogue systems. We discuss important characteristics\nof these datasets, how they can be used to learn diverse dialogue strategies,\nand their other potential uses. We also examine methods for transfer learning\nbetween datasets and the use of external knowledge. Finally, we discuss\nappropriate choice of evaluation metrics for the learning objective.","url_abs":"http://arxiv.org/abs/1512.05742v3","url_pdf":"http://arxiv.org/pdf/1512.05742v3.pdf","source":{"archive":"pwc-archive (Hugging Face), CC BY-SA 4.0","snapshot":"2025-07-28","licence_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/legalcode","row_kind":"abstracts"},"code_links":[{"paper_slug":"a-survey-of-available-corpora-for-building","repo_url":"https://github.com/Breakend/DialogDatasets","is_official":1,"mentioned_in_paper":1,"mentioned_in_github":1,"framework":"none","reach":null},{"paper_slug":"a-survey-of-available-corpora-for-building","repo_url":"https://github.com/23LuZ/the-Evaluation-of-ChitChat-System","is_official":0,"mentioned_in_paper":0,"mentioned_in_github":1,"framework":"none","reach":{"status":"ok"}},{"paper_slug":"a-survey-of-available-corpora-for-building","repo_url":"https://github.com/hermesfeet/StarReadings","is_official":0,"mentioned_in_paper":0,"mentioned_in_github":1,"framework":"tf","reach":null},{"paper_slug":"a-survey-of-available-corpora-for-building","repo_url":"https://github.com/hermesfeet/durga","is_official":0,"mentioned_in_paper":0,"mentioned_in_github":1,"framework":"none","reach":null}],"tasks":[{"task_slug":"transfer-learning","task_name":"Transfer Learning"}],"methods":[],"datasets_introduced":[],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[],"syntology":{"syntology_url":"https://syntology.ai/paper/1512.05742","atlas_url":"https://app.syntology.ai/?focus=1512.05742","mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
