| Challenge: | Existing benchmarks rely heavily on text-based evaluation and largely ignore paralinguistic cues such as prosody, emotion, and speaker traits. |
| Approach: | They propose a speech-native benchmark for evaluating instruction-following S2S models with explicit assessment of both semantic understanding and paralinguistic expression. |
| Outcome: | The proposed system enables more natural, robust, and human-aligned speech agents. |

| Challenge: | Existing methods to identify phenotypes using electronic health records (EHRs) are expensive and difficult to transfer models from one disease to another. |
| Approach: | They propose a task-oriented dialogue system framework to make diagnosis for patients automatically, which can converse with patients to collect additional symptoms beyond their self-reports. |
| Outcome: | The proposed system can collect additional symptoms from conversation and improve disease identification accuracy. |
