StyleBench: Evaluating Speech Language Models on Conversational Speaking Style Control

arXiv CS.CL

ArXi:2603.07599v1 Announce Type: new Speech language models (SLMs) have significantly extended the interactive capability of text-based Large Language Models (LLMs) by incorporating paralinguistic information. For realistic interactive experience with customized styles, current SLMs have managed to interpret and control speaking style intensity from user prompts during the dialogue process. However, there remains a lack of systematic benchmarks that quantifies and evaluates the style intensity control ability in conversations.
