There is a vast amount of document content created every day by human writers to communicate with human readers for sharing knowledge, ranging from encyclopedias to customer service FAQs. Making the document content accessible to users via conversational systems and scaling it to various domains could be a meaningful yet challenging task. There are significant individual research threads that show promise in handling heterogeous knowledge embedded in documents for building conversational systems, including (1) unstructured content, such as text passages; (2) semi-structured content, such as tables or lists; (3) multi-modal content, such as images and videos along with text descriptions, and so on.

There are a total of 22 teams that participated in the Dev Phase. For the final Test Phase, 10 teams submitted to the leaderboards. Many submissions outperform baseline significantly.
