New benchmark RESCUE-BENCH tests LLMs on multi-party emotional support

A new benchmark called RESCUE-BENCH has been introduced to evaluate large language models' ability to understand and respond to interpersonal dynamics in multi-party emotional support conversations. Constructed from real family and couple interviews, RESCUE-BENCH includes over 7,000 annotated turns and aims to assess relational understanding and relation-sensitive support. Experiments with ten LLMs revealed that while current models can handle basic emotional cues, they struggle with complex relational reasoning, indicating a gap in their capacity for nuanced interpersonal support.
