TPBench: A Turning-Point Benchmark for Dialogue Compression
Quick summary
arXiv:2610.02736v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: A compressor can keep the facts of a dialogue and still drop the turn that changed them. A user corrects a price, reverses a choice, or adds a constraint. We call this failure turning-point eviction. One overall retention score hides it, because that score mixes what the user first wanted with what the user wants now. We introduce TPBench, which evaluates three complementary information targets at shared nominal retention budgets. P1 asks for the user's initial goal. P2 asks for the current value of a slot the user revised. P3 asks for both, in

Why it matters
“TPBench: A Turning-Point Benchmark for Dialogue Compression” highlights the need for repeatable measurement rather than a single impressive demonstration. Independent validation across datasets and clearly stated limitations determine whether a result can guide product decisions.
