Abstract: A method for dialog state tracking uses a neural network model, such as an MemN2N model, which has been trained to receive a representation of a question and a representation of a subpart of a dialog and to output an answer to the question. For at least one iteration, a subpart of a dialog is received. A representation of the subpart of the dialog is generated. The representation of the subpart of the input dialog and representation of a question are input to the trained neural network model.
