M3-DuplexBench: A Multi-Turn, Multilingual, Multidomain Benchmark for Full-Duplex Spoken Dialogue Models

Read the original on arXiv Computation and Language →

M3-DuplexBench is a new benchmark designed to evaluate full‑duplex spoken dialogue systems (FDSDSs) that can listen while speaking. It covers multi‑turn interactions in both English and Japanese across casual conversation and question‑answering domains, jointly assessing interaction timing and response content. The benchmark also offers a reference‑conditioned setting to test sensitivity to dialogue history and trajectory mismatch.

TurnBench: A Multi-Domain Benchmark for Turn-Taking Dynamics in Spoken Dialogue

TurnBench is a new multi‑domain benchmark for evaluating turn‑taking dynamics in spoken dialogue. It comprises a 30‑hour hand‑labeled corpus of dyadic human conversations, a standardized evaluation protocol for end‑of‑turn and interruption detection, and covers six distinct interaction styles with triple annotation. The benchmark also provides a 104‑hour training set, a public leaderboard, and an interactive dataset viewer at https://turnbench.sesame.com.

ECHO: A Matched-Contrast Benchmark for Context-Sensitive Turn-Taking in Full-Duplex Dialogue

ECHO is a new paired diagnostic benchmark designed for Chinese full‑duplex spoken dialogue systems to evaluate context‑sensitive turn‑taking. It pairs examples that share the same overlap transcript but differ in preceding multi‑turn context, requiring either a Yield or Keep decision, and also includes off‑talk cases to test unnecessary yielding. The benchmark introduces pair accuracy, penalizing constant‑action policies, and shows that many systems are biased toward Yield, performing better on interruptions than on backchannels.
