The proposed data-collection pipeline is entirely based on crowd-sourcing without the need of hiring professional annotators;secondly, a set of benchmark results of belief tracking, dialogue act and response generation is reported, which shows the usability of the data and sets a baseline for future studies.","url_abs":"https://aclanthology.org/D18-1547","url_pdf":"https://aclanthology.org/D18-1547.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-a-large-scale-multi-domain-wizard-of-1","repo_url":"https://github.com/budzianowski/multiwoz","is_official":1,"mentioned_in_paper":1,"mentioned_in_github":0,"framework":"pytorch","reach":null}],"tasks":[{"task_slug":"decision-making","task_name":"Decision Making"},{"task_slug":"dialogue-management","task_name":"Dialogue Management"},{"task_slug":"response-generation","task_name":"Response Generation"},{"task_slug":"speech-recognition","task_name":"Speech Recognition"},{"task_slug":"task-oriented-dialogue-systems","task_name":"Task-Oriented Dialogue Systems"},{"task_slug":"text-generation","task_name":"Text Generation"}],"methods":[],"datasets_introduced":[],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[],"syntology":{"syntology_url":null,"atlas_url":null,"mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
