- Abstract: Dagstuhl Seminar 19461 "Conversational Search" was held on 10-15 November
2019. 44~researchers in Information Retrieval and Web Search, Natural Language
Processing, Human Computer Interaction, and Dialogue Systems were invited to
share the latest development in the area of Conversational Search and discuss
its research agenda and future directions. A 5-day program of the seminar
consisted of six introductory and background sessions, three visionary talk
sessions, one industry talk session, and seven working groups and reporting
sessions. The seminar also had three social events during the program. This
report provides the executive summary, overview of invited talks, and findings
from the seven working groups which cover the definition, evaluation,
modelling, explanation, scenarios, applications, and prototype of
Conversational Search. The ideas and findings presented in this report should
serve as one of the main sources for diverse research programs on
Conversational Search.

- A Conceptual Framework for Conversational Search and Recommendation: Conceptualizing Agent-Human Interactions During the Conversational Search Process [3.2114882156161824]
The conversational search task aims to enable a user to resolve information needs via natural language dialogue with an agent.
We aim to develop a conceptual framework of the actions and intents of users and agents explaining how these actions enable the user to explore the search space and resolve their information need.

We present the first human-annotated dialogue-based relation extraction (RE) dataset DialogRE.
We argue that speaker-related information plays a critical role in the proposed task, based on an analysis of similarities and differences between dialogue-based and traditional RE tasks.
Experimental results demonstrate that a speaker-aware extension on the best-performing model leads to gains in both the standard and conversational evaluation settings.
