Call for Sponsors

We are looking for sponsors who can support the data collection and annotation effort in Dialogue Breakdown Detection Challenge 4 (DBDC4). The organizers of the challenge are working together with WOCHAT (Workshops and Session Series on Chatbots and Conversational Agents) and ConvAI (conversational challenge) for creating data that can be useful for dialogue system development.

DBDC4 will be held in the special session of IWSDS 2019, which will be attended by many dialogue researchers and developers. Becoming the sponsor of DBDC4 will make it possible for you to promote your institution/product, enhance international presence, and recruit potential employees. We will use the sponsorship fees entirely on dialogue data collection and annotation. The data will be made public to promote research and development in the field of dialogue systems.
