Evaluating expressive speech remains challenging, as existing methods mainly assess emotional intensity and overlook whether a speech sample is expressively appropriate for its contextual setting. This limitation hinders reliable evaluation of speech systems used in narrative-driven and interactive applications, such as audiobooks and conversational agents. We introduce CEAEval, a Context-rich framework for Evaluating Expressive Appropriateness in speech, which assesses whether a speech sample expressively aligns with the underlying communicative intent implied by its discourse-level narrative context. To support this task, we construct CEAEval-D, the first context-rich speech dataset with real human performances in Mandarin conversational speech, providing narrative descriptions together with fifteen dimensions of human annotations covering expressive attributes and expressive appropriateness. We further develop CEAEval-M, a model that integrates knowledge distillation, planner-based multi-model collaboration, adaptive audio attention bias, and reinforcement learning to perform context-rich expressive appropriateness evaluation. Experiments on a human-annotated test set demonstrate that CEAEval-M substantially outperforms existing speech evaluation and analysis systems.

Large language model (LLM) agents increasingly operate in multi-agent settings where failures emerge from interaction dynamics rather than isolated model errors. We introduce RiskLab, an open-source toolkit for instantiating, probing, and measuring emergent risks in LLM-based multi-agent systems under controlled conditions. Each experiment is defined as a structured topology–environment–protocol–agent–task quintuple, enabling reproducible studies of how communication structure, coordination mechanisms, and incentives shape system-level risks. RiskLab provides flexible communication topologies, swappable interaction protocols, trajectory-grounded evaluation, and extensible registries for risk detectors and agent backends. We demonstrate the toolkit across representative risks, including collusion, resource overreach, semantic drift, and strategic misreporting, and support one-file reproducibility via configuration.
