Research questionHow can full-duplex voice agents infer role-implied behavior while managing overlapping speech and conflicting instructions in real time?A role or persona may imply when an agent should listen, backchannel, interrupt, take the floor, or yield without stating those rules explicitly. The agent must infer and enact these behaviors during overlapping speech while resolving directives that may conflict with one another or with safety requirements.

It measures floor-management adherence and persona-consistent content, so the findings concern benchmarked instruction-following behavior rather than all aspects of voice-agent quality or deployment performance.research paper · Sep 3, 2026
