Congratulations for the winner of our hackathon
NEUROBOTICS
А 24/7 week-long sci-hack summer school with the goal to create a chatbot that can hold an intelligent conversation with a human
partner.
To participate in the qualification round you should:
- train your dialogue system on PersonaChat dataset,
- submit it to ConvAI competition (please feel free to use the provided baselines),
- register for DeepHack.Chat hackathon here (please note that every member of a team should register).

In the qualification round your system will be evaluated by means of automatic metrics. We will select 10 to 12 best-performing teams from ConvAI leaderboard to participate in DeepHack.Chat final round. During the hackathon teams will work on their chatbots and evaluate other teams' systems. The human evaluation will define the winner.

You can work on your dialogue system as a team. Please note that we allow teams of up to 5 people.
