Researchers have introduced EmoSBench, a new benchmark designed to evaluate the emotional intelligence of spoken language models (SLMs). This benchmark is built on a four-branch theoretical model of emotional intelligence and includes ten sub-tasks. Initial tests show that even advanced models like GPT-4o-Audio perform significantly below human baselines, achieving only 52.6% accuracy. To address this, a new evaluator model called EmoS was developed, utilizing supervised fine-tuning and a novel reward mechanism that integrates accuracy and rationale fidelity, reaching 83.8% accuracy and demonstrating strong generalization in real-world scenarios.
