Abstract
LLMs and speech assistants are increasingly used for task-oriented interactions, yet their evaluation often relies on controlled scenarios that fail to capture the variability and complexity of real user requests. Drink ordering, for example, involves diverse named entities, drink types, sizes, customizations, and brand-specific terminology, as well as spontaneous speech phenomena such as hesitations and self-corrections. To address this gap, we introduce StarDrinks, a test set in English and Korean containing speech utterances features, transcriptions, and annotated slots. Our dataset supports speech-to-slots SLU, transcription-to-slots NLU, and speech-to-transcription ASR evaluation, providing a realistic benchmark for model robustness and generalization in a linguistically rich, real-world task.
