| Challenge: | a limited amount of data exists for human-human spoken dialogues for research and development . a dialogue comprehension system that extracts clinical information from spoken conversations is clinically useful . |
| Approach: | They propose a framework inspired by nurse-initiated clinical symptom monitoring conversations to construct a simulated human-human dialogue dataset. |
| Outcome: | The proposed system achieves more than 80% F1 on held-out test set from nurse-to-patient conversations. |

| Challenge: | OpenNMT is a community-built toolkit written in multiple languages with an emphasis on extensibility. |
| Approach: | They propose to use PyTorch to train custom sequence models for translation, summarization, language modeling, and other tasks. |
| Outcome: | The proposed toolkit is fast, extensible, and useful for both research and production. |
