Some notable examples being QuAC (Choi et al., 2018) and CoQA (Reddy et al., 2019) . These datasets require the model to attend to the entire dialogue context in the process of retrieving an answer. In this work, we are interesting in building a QA system to help with human dialogue. Feng et al. (2020) introduced a new dataset of goal-oriented dialogues (Doc2Dial) that are grounded in the associated documents. Each sample in the dataset consists of an information-seeking conversation between a user and an agent where agent's responses are grounded in FAQ-like webpages. DialDoc shared task derives its training data from the Doc2Dial dataset and proposes two subtasks which require the participants to (1) identify the grounding knowledge in form of document span for the next agent turn; and (2) generate the next agent response in natural language.", | |

Since the grounding document is often longer than the maximum input sequence length for transformers, we follow (Feng et al., 2020) and truncate the documents in sliding windows with a stride. The document trunk and the dialogue history are passed through the transformer encoder to create contextual representations for each token in the input. To extract the beginning and the ending positions of the answer span within the document, the encoded embeddings are sent to a linear layer to output two logits that correspond to the probability of the position being the start and end position of the answer span.

Overall, the size of the selected sample is only 20% of the original dataset, yet achieves a higher EM score than the combined dataset as seen in Table 2 .
