DRAMA-Eval - Interaction Naturalness (English): leaderboard

Speech generators voice whole multi-speaker scenes from structured English scripts built from real podcasts, films and TV series (a set of 501 cases, each turn with delivery directions; systems were scored on up to that many); a Gemini 3.8 Flash judge compares the turn-taking and interaction between speakers with the real recording of the whole scene, and the score is a tie-adjusted win rate where 50 means as good as the recording. It judges the scene, where EmergentTTS-Eval judges single utterances.

Metric: Tie-adjusted win rate (%) against the real recording on turn-taking and interaction between the speakers, Gemini 3.8 Flash A/B judge (50 = parity), English set (501 cases). Source: aslp-lab.github.io. Saturation forecast: Rough model projection: around 2026. 12 models tracked.
