RESCUE-BENCH: A Benchmark for Relation-Aware Multi-Party Emotional Support Conversations
Researchers have introduced RESCUE-BENCH, a benchmark designed to push emotional support conversation systems beyond traditional one-on-one interactions. The work addresses the gap in handling multi-party scenarios, where the relationships between participants shape how support should be delivered. It marks a step toward support systems that reason about interpersonal dynamics rather than just individual emotional states.
