This repo is a dataset survey for Task-oriented Dialogue.
We investigated most existing dialogue datasets and summarize their basic information, such download link and size.
We also include leader boards of some dataset to present research progress in the task oriented dialogue fields.
A Chinese intro & news for this project is available here
Contributions are welcomed, you are encouraged to:
- Directly pull request
- Send me new dataset info
- Send me new experiment results from published paper.
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.
Slot filling task aims to recognize key entity of user utterance, such position and time.

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.
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) 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),
