The VDG Challenge: Response Generation and Evaluation in Collaborative Visual Dialogue

Nikolai Ilinykh, Simon Dobnik


Abstract
We propose the VDG Challenge: a shared task that addresses and benchmarks the task of utterance generation in collaborative visual dialogue. The task features two challenging datasets, an evaluation protocol and a tentative schedule. Our shared task will allow researchers to unravel problems of modelling multi-modal interaction and fit of the existing approaches in the NLP and NLG communities.
