Reinforcement learning could improve this, but current automatic metrics make poor rewards. Timing-oracle proxies, event counts and metric suites each capture only part of interaction quality, and human ratings are expensive… 3. **[SDiaReward: Modeling and Benchmarking Spoken Dialogue Rewards with Modality and Colloquialness](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/lu-2026-sdiareward-modeling-benchmarking-spoken-dialogue/)** *(2026)* End-to-end spoken dialogue systems need reward signals that go beyond text semantics. The authors identify two weaknesses in current evaluators. The first is a modality gap: prosody, emotion and channel cues are invisible to text-based judges. The second is a colloquialness gap: written-style replies sound scripted… ## Co-authors here 12 of 13 co-authors with a page, the most papers together first. - [Zhou Zhao](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/zhou-zhao/) ×3 - [Shengpeng Ji](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/shengpeng-ji/) ×2 - [Tianle Liang](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/tianle-liang/) ×2 - [Ziqing Wang](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/ziqing-wang/) ×2 - [Changhao Pan](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/changhao-pan/) - [Chenyuhao Wen](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/chenyuhao-wen/) - [Jin Xu](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/jin-xu/) - [Jinzheng He](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/jinzheng-he/) - [Qian Chen](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/qian-chen/) - [Siyu Chen](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/siyu-chen/) - [Wen Wang](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/wen-wang/) - [Xize Cheng](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/xize-cheng/) ## Venues Where their works here were published, the most works first, with the editions of those that have a page. - [Annual Meeting of the Association for Computational Linguistics (ACL)](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/acl/) ×3: [ACL 2026](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/acl/2026/) ×2, [ACL 2025](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/acl/2025/) ## Cited by Papers of our library cite their works 17 times (of the 149,439 papers whose bibliographies we read); [6 citing papers with a page here →](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/yifu-chen/cited-by/).
