The benchmark includes a fixed dataset and protocol for evaluating retrieval systems.

Why it matters
Speech retrieval systems currently rely on fixed similarity matching and cannot adapt to diverse user intents. INSPIRE provides a standardized evaluation to compare methods across different retrieval intents, highlighting gaps in handling both semantic and paralinguistic attributes.
Motivation
Existing speech retrieval systems rely on fixed similarity matching and cannot adapt to diverse user intents.
