SpeechEQ benchmarks emotional-intelligence quotient in voice conversational models
SpeechEQ (2606.25990) introduces an 'emotional intelligence quotient' benchmark for socially-aware voice conversational systems, measuring how well models read and respond to paralinguistic social cues. Paired with the same week's 'hears but does not listen' finding, it signals a research wave specifically scoring the social competence of voice agents, not just transcription. A useful yardstick for anyone building empathetic voice assistants.
