IHBench - Recovery Quality - Topic Switch: leaderboard
IHBench (Salimi et al., 2026) interrupts spoken-dialogue models mid-utterance at 428 scripted points in 45 structured-workflow voice conversations across ten domains, with the user's turn given as audio; a GPT-5.4-mini judge (high reasoning) scores the model's next turn, averaged over three epochs. This board is the 73 interruptions that switch topic, scored by the percentage of turns meeting every recovery criterion; higher is better.
Metric: Recovery pass rate (%; 73 topic switches, every type-specific criterion met, GPT-5.4-mini judge (high reasoning), audio input, mean of three epochs). Source: arxiv.org. Saturation forecast: Around February 2027. 27 models tracked.
