Japanese Dialogue Corpus of Information Navigation and Attentive Listening Annotated with Extended ISO-24617-2 Dialogue Act Tags (L18-1)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Large-scale conventional dialogue corpora are mainly built for specified tasks with specially designed dialogue states. |
| Approach: | They propose to annotate large-scale dialogue data with an extended ISO-24617-2 dialogue act tag-set to model a natural conversation with machines. |
| Outcome: | The proposed corpus covers a wider range of dialogue tasks than existing task-oriented systems or text-chat systems. |

| Challenge: | Recent research attention in task-oriented dialogue systems focuses on end-to-end neural models. |
| Approach: | They present a dataset that combines annotated corpora from four domains to provide a unified ontology and annotation schema for task-oriented dialogues. |
| Outcome: | The proposed dataset improves language, information content and performance in dialogues with two recent models. |

| Challenge: | ISO standard 24617-2 for dialogue act annotation has been used in corpus annotation and in the design of components for spoken and multimodal interactive systems. |
| Approach: | ISO standard 24617-2 for dialogue act annotation is proposed for a second edition . this second edition allows a more accurate annotation of dependence relations and rhetorical relations in dialogue. |
| Outcome: | The proposed second edition of ISO 24617-2 for dialogue act annotation addresses some inaccuracies and undesirable limitations. |
Action-Based Conversations Dataset: A Corpus for Building More In-Depth Task-Oriented Dialogue Systems (2021.naacl-main)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Existing goal-oriented dialogue datasets focus on identifying slots and values, but in reality, customer service agents follow multi-step procedures derived from explicit company policies. |
| Approach: | They propose to use a fully-labeled dataset to study customer service dialogue systems in real-world scenarios. |
| Outcome: | The proposed dataset outperforms existing models but still lacks 50.8% absolute accuracy to reach human-level performance on the dataset. |

| Challenge: | e-mail conversations have domain-agnostic and two-level dialogue act annotations . et al. (2017): a better understanding of asynchronous conversations. |
| Approach: | They present a large-scale corpus of e-mail conversations with domain-agnostic and two-level dialogue act annotations . they use ISO standard 24617-2 as the annotation scheme to annotate over 6,000 messages and 35,000 sentences . |
| Outcome: | The proposed model outperforms other neural networks but falls short of human performance. |

| Challenge: | a large-scale multimodal dialog corpus is needed to accelerate research on dialog systems that can handle social signals and verbal information. |
| Approach: | They construct a multimodal dialog corpus focusing on the relationship between speakers and 19 pairs of participants. |
| Outcome: | The proposed system is based on a multimodal dialog corpus of 19,303 utterances (10 hours) from 19 pairs of participants. |
Multilingual Dialogue Generation and Localization with Dialogue Act Scripting (2025.emnlp-main)

| Challenge: | Existing approaches to training or evaluating non-English dialogue datasets often introduce artifacts that reduce their naturalness and cultural appropriateness. |
| Approach: | They propose a structured framework for encoding, localizing, and generating multilingual dialogues from abstract intent representations. |
| Outcome: | The proposed framework outperforms translation models in Italian, German, and Chinese on cultural relevance, coherence, and situational appropriateness. |

| Challenge: | Recent studies have focused on task-based or instrumental dialogs, but there is increasing interest in social or interactional dialogs. |
| Approach: | They describe a corpus of 193 dyadic text dialogs based on a novel 'getting to know you' social dialog elicitation paradigm and propose additional acts to better cover greeting and leavetaking. |
| Outcome: | The proposed actions cover greeting and leavetaking, and the proposed acts improve the interaction between the dialogs and spoken language. |
ISO-Standard Domain-Independent Dialogue Act Tagging for Conversational Agents (C18-1)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Existing methods for DA annotation are incompatible with each other and do not cover all aspects necessary for open-domain human-machine interaction. |
| Approach: | They propose to map publicly available corpora to a subset of the ISO standard and create a task-independent training corpus for DA classification. |
| Outcome: | The proposed method can train a domain-independent DA tagger on out-of-domain conversational data and achieve robustness across different DA categories. |

| Challenge: | Existing emotion-annotated task-oriented corpora are limited in size, label richness, and public availability, creating a bottleneck for downstream tasks. |
| Approach: | They propose a large-scale manually emotion-annotated corpus of task-oriented dialogues based on a multi-domain task-orientated dataset. |
| Outcome: | The proposed method is based on a task-oriented dialogue dataset with 11K dialogues and 83K emotion annotations of user utterances. |
