## Introduction
This repo is a dataset and methods survey for Task-oriented Dialogue.

We investigated most existing dialogue datasets and summarized their basic information, such as brief, download link and size.

We also included leader boards of popular dataset to present research progress in the task oriented dialogue fields.

A Chinese intro & news for this project is available [here](https://mp.weixin.qq.com/s?__biz=MzIxMjAzNDY5Mg==&mid=2650793618&idx=1&sn=dc5e592c5d8b451531383350af76e254&chksm=8f477379b830fa6fb0b5909f6d6a3f85dae44e8a37aa0ab9763df354cabcc9224c211075f127&mpshare=1&scene=1&srcid=#rd)

## Leader Boards

The ranking is depended on published results of related papers. We are trying to keep it up-to-date. The ranking may be unfair because features used and train/dev set splitting in those papers may be different. However, it shows a trend of research, and would be helpful for someone to start a project about task-oriented dialogue.

### Dialogue State Tracking
Dialogue state tacking task aims to predict or give representation of dialogue state,
which usually contains a goal constraint, a set of requested slots, and the user's dialogue act.

#### [MultiWOZ 2.0](http://dialogue.mi.eng.cam.ac.uk/index.php/corpus/) - Dialogue State Tracking

Multi-Domain Wizard-of-Oz dataset (MultiWOZ), a fully-labeled collection of human-human written conversations spanning over multiple domains and topics. At a size of 10k dialogues, it is at least one order of magnitude larger than all previous annotated task-oriented corpora.

The new, corrected versions of the dataset are available at [MultiWOZ 2.1 (2019)](https://arxiv.org/abs/1907.01669), [MultiWOZ 2.2 (2020)](https://www.aclweb.org/anthology/2020.nlp4convai-1.13.pdf).

#### DSTC2 - Dialogue State Tracking
Clarification of dataset types:

The main results we list here are obtained from pure DSTC2 dataset (ASR n-best).

However, we don't list other kinds of DSTC2 data source results such as **DSTC2-text**
(It formulates the dialog state tracking as a machine reading problem
which read the dialog transcriptions multiple times and answer the questions
about each of the slot,
for more info please refer to [paper](https://aaai.org/ocs/index.php/WS/AAAIW18/paper/view/17447/15652))
and **DSTC-cleaned**
(It is used by the NBT paper and fixes ASR noise and typo during training and include ASR noise during testing,
The cleaned version is available at [here](https://github.com/Divye02/baby-jarvis/tree/master/data/dstc2)),
