$S^3$-Bench: Evaluating Speech Interaction Models as Scientific Voice Assistants

arXiv · AI, language, vision and robotics · article · Sep 9, 2026 · UTC

The advance of multimodal large language models (MLLMs) has fundamentally reshaped the paradigm of human-computer interaction, especially speech interaction models capable of seamless conversations. Despite remarkable performance as general voice assistants, their performance in specialized domains remains underexplored, particularly in scientific areas. Scientific interactions introduce formidable challenges, involving rare technical terminology, spoken norms of abbreviations, and the natural verbalization of symbolic special expressions. In this paper, we introduce S$^3$-Bench, a systematic
