Starting as an initiative to provide a common testbed for the task of Dialog State Tracking, the first Dialog State Tracking Challenge (DSTC) was organized in 2013, followed by DSTC2&3 in 2014, DSTC4 in 2015, and DSTC5 in 2016. Given the remarkable success of the first five editions, and understanding both, the complexity of the dialog phenomenon and the interest of the research community in a wider variety of dialog related problems, the DSTC rebranded itself as "Dialog System Technology Challenges" for its sixth edition. Then, DSTC6, DSTC7, DSTC8 and DSTC9 have been completed in 2017, 2018, 2019 and 2020 respectively.
In this tenth challenge, the call for task proposals has resulted into the following 5 different tracks: (1) MOD: Internet Meme Incorporated Open-domain Dialog (2) Knowledge-grounded Task-oriented Dialogue Modeling on Spoken Conversations, (3) SIMMC 2.0: Situated Interactive Multimodal Conversational AI, (4) Reasoning for Audio Visual Scene-Aware Dialog and (5) Automatic Evaluation and Moderation of Open-domain Dialogue Systems. The objective of these tracks is to invite interested organizations conduct dialog related challenges in specific areas of research and under the umbrella of the DSTC.
