The Dialogue System Live Competition 7

Abstract

Building upon the success of the six previous Dialogue System Live Competitions, we organized the seventh edition, "Dialogue System Live Competition 7." This competition series aims to highlight the challenges and limitations of human-computer dialogue in a live event setting. Similar to the prior edition, our focus was on multimodal dialogue systems. The competition featured two tracks: the "Situation Track" and the "Task Track." The Situation Track aims to develop human-like dialogue systems for specific scenarios, while the Task Track focuses on creating dialogue systems capable of achieving task completion in complex and advanced problems. In the preliminary round, 14 teams competed in the Situation Track and 8 teams in the Task Track. This paper provides an overview of the event and reports the results from the preliminary round. The final round is scheduled to be held as a live event at the 103rd Meeting of the Special Interest Group on Spoken Language Understanding and Dialogue Processing.
