Following a similar scheme to the fourth dialog state tracking challenge, this edition again focused on human-human dialogs, but introduced the task of cross-lingual adaptation of trackers. The challenge received a total of 32 entries from 9 research groups. In addition, several pilot track evaluations were also proposed receiving a total of 16 entries from 4 groups. In both cases, the results show that most of the groups were able to outperform the provided baselines for each task.}, url = {http://approjects.co.za/?big=en-us/research/publication/fifth-dialog-state-tracking-challenge/}, edition = {Proceedings IEEE Spoken Language Technologies Workshop}, }
