One trait of realism is the way speaking agents take their turns. We provide here a review of recent methods on turn-taking modeling and thoroughly describe the corpora used in these studies. We observe that 72{\%} of the reviewed works in this survey do not compare their methods with previous efforts. We argue that one of the challenges in the field is the lack of well-established benchmarks to monitor progress. This work aims to provide the community with a better understanding of the current state of research around turn-taking modeling and future directions to build more realistic spoken conversational agents."
