EIBench (Emotion Management): leaderboard
EIBench (2026) is a simulator-based benchmark for interactive emotion management: an LLM plays the user in a multi-turn scenario and updates an emotion and relation state after every reply, and the final state is scored from -100 to +100 relative to scenario-specific start, success and failure anchors. This board is the scenario-weighted average over the 213 held-out test scenarios with Qwen3-Max as the simulator; higher is better.
Metric: Anchor-based outcome score x 100 (-100 to +100): the simulated user's final emotion and relation state mapped per axis to 0 at the start anchor, +1 at the success anchor and -1 at the failure anchor (clipped), scenario-weighted average over the four scene types; 213 held-out test scenarios, multi-turn dialogue with an LLM user simulator, Qwen3-Max as the simulator; higher is better.
