• Abstract: Creating high-quality annotated data for task-oriented dialog (ToD) is known to be notoriously difficult, and the challenges are amplified when the goal is to create equitable, culturally adapted, and large-scale ToD datasets for multiple languages. Therefore, the current datasets are still very scarce and suffer from limitations such as translation-based non-native dialogs with translation artefacts, small scale, or lack of cultural adaptation, among others. In this work, we first take stock of the current landscape of multilingual ToD datasets, offering a systematic overview of their properties and limitations. Aiming to reduce all the detected limitations, we then introduce Multi3WOZ, a novel multilingual, multi-domain, multi-parallel ToD dataset. It is large-scale and offers culturally adapted dialogs in 4 languages to enable training and evaluation of multilingual and cross-lingual ToD systems. We describe a complex bottom-up data collection process that yielded the final dataset, and offer the first sets of baseline scores across different ToD-related tasks for future reference, also highlighting its challenging nature.

  We extend the English only NLU++ dataset to include manual translations into a range of high, medium, and low resource languages. Because of its multi-intent property, MULTI3NLU++ represents complex and natural user goals. We use MULTI3NLU++ to benchmark state-of-the-art multilingual models for the Natural Language Understanding tasks of intent detection and slot labelling.

  Multi2WOZ dataset spans four typologically diverse languages: Chinese, German, Arabic, and Russian. We introduce a new framework for multilingual conversational specialization of pretrained language models (PrLMs) that aims to facilitate cross-lingual transfer for arbitrary downstream TOD tasks. Our experiments show that, in most setups, the best performance entails the combination of (I) conversational specialization in the target language and (ii) few-shot transfer for the concrete TOD task.

  We introduce a novel data curation method that generates GlobalWoZ -- a large-scale multilingual ToD dataset from an English ToD dataset. Our method is based on translating dialogue templates and filling them with local entities in the target-language countries. We release our dataset as well as a set of strong baselines to encourage research on learning multilingual ToD systems for real use cases.
