Dialogue state annotations are error-prone, leading to sub-optimal performance. Various efforts have been put in rectifying the annotation errors presented in the original MultiWOZ dataset. In this paper, we introduce MultiWOZ 2.3, in which we differentiate incorrect annotations in dialogue acts from dialogue states, identifying a lack of co-reference when publishing the updated dataset. To ensure consistency between dialogue acts and dialogue states, we implement co-reference features and unify annotations of dialogue acts and dialogue states. We update the state of the art performance of natural language understanding and dialogue state tracking on MultiWOZ 2.3, where the results show significant improvements than on previous versions of MultiWOZ datasets (2.0-2.2).","url_abs":"https://arxiv.org/abs/2010.05594v3","url_pdf":"https://arxiv.org/pdf/2010.05594v3.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":"multiwoz-2-3-a-multi-domain-task-oriented","repo_url":"https://github.com/lexmen318/MultiWOZ-coref","is_official":1,"mentioned_in_paper":1,"mentioned_in_github":1,"framework":"none","reach":null},{"paper_slug":"multiwoz-2-3-a-multi-domain-task-oriented","repo_url":"https://github.com/lexmen318/MultiWOZ_2.3","is_official":1,"mentioned_in_paper":1,"mentioned_in_github":1,"framework":"none","reach":null},{"paper_slug":"multiwoz-2-3-a-multi-domain-task-oriented","repo_url":"https://github.com/lexmen318/metaCAT","is_official":0,"mentioned_in_paper":0,"mentioned_in_github":1,"framework":"none","reach":null}],"tasks":[{"task_slug":"dialogue-state-tracking","task_name":"Dialogue State Tracking"},{"task_slug":"natural-language-understanding","task_name":"Natural Language Understanding"},{"task_slug":"task-oriented-dialogue-systems","task_name":"Task-Oriented Dialogue Systems"}],"methods":[],"datasets_introduced":[{"slug":"multiwoz-coref","name":"MultiWOZ-coref","full_name":null}],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[],"syntology":{"atlas_url":"https://app.syntology.ai/?focus=2010.05594","mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
