# MMSU: A Massive Multi-task Spoken Language Understanding and Reasoning Benchmark

## Overview of MMSU:
MMSU, a comprehensive benchmark designed specifically for understanding and reasoning in spoken language. 
MMSU comprises 5,000 meticulously curated audio-question-answer triplets across 47 distinct tasks. 
To ground our benchmark in linguistic theory, we systematically incorporate a wide range of linguistic phenomena, including phonetics, prosody, syntax, syntactics, semantics, and paralinguistics.
