SEA-HELM Audio Benchmark Targets Southeast Asian Speech Understanding Gaps
Voice agents for Southeast Asian markets are usually tested on English-centric audio sets, which hides how badly multilingual speech degrades downstream answers. SEA-HELM Audio gives builders a way to quantify that drop per language before shipping a customer-facing voice bot. Teams choosing between speech pipelines or fine-tuning models for regional languages can use it as a baseline alongside global benchmarks like MMLU.
