HearInContext: A Benchmark for Implicit Context in Speech Recognition

arXiv · AI, language, vision and robotics · article · Sep 16, 2026 · UTC

Contextual ASR can benefit from semantic cues or from target words explicitly provided in the context. We introduce HearInContext, a Mandarin--English benchmark that pairs shared synthetic speech with assistant replies supporting different interpretations. The benchmark comprises 3,764 semantic test cases built around homophones. Implicit contexts exclude candidate words; explicit contexts name the target. No-context and unrelated-context controls measure the benefit of relevant history and sensitivity to irrelevant history. Context-capable models benefit from implicit cues but achieve higher
