Afrispeech Semantics: Evaluating Audio Semantic Reasoning in Spoken Language Models Across Domains and Accents

In three linesAfrispeech Semantics evaluates semantic reasoning in audio language models across five tasks: entailment, consistency, plausibility, accent drift, and accent restraint. The study reveals critical limitations in audio reasoning evaluation beyond transcription, particularly regarding accent variation and domain shift effects.
