Please stay tuned regarding the organization of DSTC13.
The DSTC12 workshop was held at SIGdial (Avignon, France) on August 28, 2025 (full day).
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, DSTC9, DSTC10, DSTC11, and DSTC12 have been completed in in 2017-2025.
