The paper introduces a method to predict whether volunteer mental‑health crisis counselors will improve their conversational skills early in their careers. It focuses on identifying moments counselors initially struggle with, tracking how they adapt to similar moments in later conversations, and using these early adaptations to forecast long‑term improvement. The approach outperforms baseline models that rely solely on conversation transcripts.
The paper introduces RESCUE-BENCH, a benchmark for relation-aware multi‑party emotional support conversation systems. It is built from real couple and family interview data, comprising 191 samples, 7,079 annotated turns, and 1,064.8 minutes of video, and defines six tasks that assess relational understanding and relation‑sensitive support. Experiments with ten large language models show that while they handle local emotional cues reasonably well, they struggle with tasks that require modeling interpersonal relations, such as predicting relation patterns, viewpoints, and support strategies.
