Evaluation data

This task has a public and private test sets. Final standings for the task will be decided based on private test results.

Detailed information about each set:

• Public test: the public test contains both bona fide (real speech) and spoofed negative samples. The negative pairs are chosen randomly.

• Private test: the private test set contains both bona fide and spoofed negative samples. The bona fide negative pairs are chosen such that the speakers have the same gender and dialect.

Evaluation metric

The performance of the models will be evaluated by the Equal Error Rate (EER) where the False Acceptance Rate (FAR) equals the False Rejection Rate (FRR).

Submission Guidelines

Multiple submissions are allowed but under a limitation of each phase, the evaluation result is based on the submission having the lowest EER.

The submission file comprises a header, a set of testing pairs, and a cosine similarity output by the system for the pair. The order of the pairs in the submission file must follow the same order as the pair list. A single line must contain 3 fields separated by tab character in the following format:

test_wav<TAB>enrollment_wav <TAB>score<NEWLINE>

where

enrollment_wav - The enrollment utterance
test_wav - The test utterance
score - The similarity score
