Continue, Adapt, or Yield: In-Turn Adaptation to Overlapping Speech in Full-Duplex Agents

arXiv · AI, language, vision and robotics · article · Sep 11, 2026 · UTC

Full-duplex evaluation often emphasizes whether an agent keeps speaking or stops. That binary cannot express a third response humans use routinely: continuing to speak while incorporating what the listener just contributed. The contribution may be a missing word, a correction or a clarification. We introduce Duplex Cue, an evaluation of this \emph{in-turn adaptation} in full-duplex voice agents. Duplex Cue separates listener intent (backchannel, collaboration, or interruption) from speaker behavior: continuing unchanged, adapting within the turn, or yielding. Adaptation includes acknowledgment
