C-P Map: A Novel Evaluation Toolkit for Speaker Verification
Abstract
Evaluation trials are used to probe performance of automatic speaker verification (ASV) systems. In spite of the clear importance and impact, evaluation trials have not been seriously treated in research and engineering practice. This paper firstly presents a theoretical analysis on evaluation trials and highlights potential bias with the most popular cross-pairing approach used in trials design. To interpret and settle this problem, we define the concept of trial config and C-P map derived from it. The C-P map measures the performance of an ASV system on various trial configs in a 2-dimensional map. On the map, each location represents a particular trial config and its corresponding color represents the system performance. Experiments conducted on representative ASV systems show that the proposed C-P map offers a powerful evaluation toolkit for ASV performance analysis and comparison. The source code for C-P map has been release at https://gitlab.com/csltstu/sunine.
