This paper discusses the potential for creating academic resources (tools, data, and evaluation approaches) to support research in conversational search, by focusing on realistic information needs and conversational interactions. Specifically, we propose to develop and operate a prototype conversational search system for scholarly activities. This Scholarly Conversational Assistant would serve as a useful tool, a means to create datasets, and a platform for running evaluation challenges by groups across the community. This article results from discussions of a working group at Dagstuhl Seminar 19461 on Conversational Search.

通用会话社区原型：学术会话助理

本文讨论了创建学术资源（工具、数据和评估方法）以支持会话搜索研究的潜力，重点关注现实信息需求和会话交互。具体来说，我们建议为学术活动开发和操作原型会话搜索系统。这个学术对话助理将作为一个有用的工具、一种创建数据集的手段，以及一个由整个社区的团体进行评估挑战的平台。本文来自 Dagstuhl Seminar 19461 关于会话搜索的工作组的讨论。
