M3-DuplexBench: A Multi-Turn, Multilingual, Multidomain Benchmark for Full-Duplex Spoken Dialogue Models

Full-duplex spoken dialogue systems (FDSDSs) can listen while speaking, enabling natural behaviors such as smooth turn-taking, backchannel handling, and user barge-in handling. However, fair comparisons in multi-turn conversations remain a challenge. In addition, existing benchmarks provide limited coverage of languages and dialogue domains. We propose M3-DuplexBench, a multi-turn, multilingual, multidomain benchmark for FDSDSs. M3-DuplexBench supports English and Japanese and covers both casual conversation and multi-turn question answering. In addition, we evaluate models under multiple dialogue context settings, including single-turn, user-only, and teacher-forced full-context settings, to analyze how dialogue history affects model behavior. Experiments with recent FDSDSs reveal model-specific turn-taking characteristics, clear performance gaps across languages and domains, and mixed effects of dialogue context.
