SpeechParaling-Bench is a new evaluation framework for paralinguistic-aware speech generation that reveals major limitations in current large audio-language models.
HumDial-EIBench is a new benchmark using real human dialogues to evaluate audio language models on emotional intelligence tasks including multi-turn tracking, causal reasoning, empathy generation, and acoustic-semantic conflict resolution.
Sympatheia introduces a continuous affect-conditioned speech dialogue model and the Sympatheia-18k synthetic dataset, showing improved emotional appropriateness over baselines when speech cues are limited.
A new HumDial-FDBench benchmark and real human-recorded dual-channel dataset are released to assess full-duplex dialogue systems on interruptions and conversational flow.
FastTurn fuses streaming CTC semantics with acoustic cues for lower-latency, more accurate turn detection in full-duplex dialogue and releases a real-dialogue test set.
CogAudio-LLM introduces LIME-440K dataset, EIPS chain-of-thought reasoning, and DR-SAPO optimization to address semantic dominance and improve affective responses in audio language models.
PRISM proposes a multi-agent system decoupling speech-to-prosody handling, LLM-based response generation, and synthesis, reporting metric improvements in empathy and prosodic fit for spoken dialogue.
