  • Benchmarking tests of automatic face recognition systems do not account for the errors of human operators, causing a mismatch between evaluation tests and operational accuracy.

    “However, benchmarking tests designed to evaluate these systems do not account for the errors of human operators, who are often an integral part of face recognition solutions in forensic and security settings. This causes a mismatch between evaluation tests and operational accuracy.”

    From Error Rates in Users of Automatic Face Recognition Software (2015) · cites this paper as [1]

    Section 5.7 assumes reviewers always find a mate when present and never incorrectly select a nonmate; the report therefore does not incorporate human adjudication errors into that model. The 'Accuracy by age group' passage also says reviewer adjudication accuracy remains poorly quantified. These passages support the concern about omitted human errors, but the report does not establish the asserted mismatch between benchmark results and operational accuracy. (LLM, conf=0.84)

    Experimental — accuracy not yet measured
  • Leading commercial off-the-shelf algorithms in one-to-many identification returned matching images of the target identity in the top ten ranked matches for between 80% and 97% of targets in a challenging FRVT test.

    “Leading algorithms performed with a high level of accuracy, returning matching images of the target identity in the top ten ranked matches for between 80% and 97% of targets, depending on the algorithm.”
  • Estimates of operational FR system accuracy, in the conditions tested here, can be computed by halving scores attained on recent benchmark tests.

    “Thus, estimates of operational FR system accuracy, in the conditions we have tested here, can be computed by halving scores attained on recent benchmark tests [1].”

    From Error Rates in Users of Automatic Face Recognition Software (2015) · cites this paper as [1]

    Section 4.6 reports accuracy measurements from operational datasets, and the 'Magnitude of accuracy gains' section describes a possible twofold reduction in miss rate when candidate rank increases from 1 to 50. Neither passage says that operational accuracy can be estimated by halving benchmark-test scores. Searches for 'benchmark,' 'half,' and comparisons between operational and benchmark accuracy did not find that conversion in our copy; page numbers were not supplied. (LLM, conf=0.72)

    Experimental — accuracy not yet measured
  • In the most recent international benchmarking test, the Cognitec DBScan 4.1.0 B3 algorithm correctly returned a matching image in the top eight ranked matches in approximately 90% of cases when searching a database of 1.6 million police mugshot images of adults.

    “In the most recent international benchmarking test of leading commercial face identification systems, this algorithm correctly returned a matching image in the top eight ranked matches in approximately 90% of cases, when searching a database of 1.6 million police mugshot images of adults [1].”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
