Evaluation of face verification performance on the Labeled Faces in the Wild (LFW) dataset, reporting standard biometric metrics including Accuracy, Equal Error Rate (EER), and True Acceptance Rates (TAR).

A research result applies to its stated dataset, split, metric and evaluation configuration. Compare like-for-like settings, preserve the metric's unit and direction, and distinguish paper-reported results from independent reproduction. The best result recorded here is not a claim of exhaustive, current global coverage.

| Scope | Recorded value |
| --- | --- |
| Task | Face Verification |
| Dataset (including any stated split) | Labeled Faces in the Wild (LFW) |
| Metric | Accuracy |
| Unit | PERCENT |
| Direction | Higher is better |
| Results loaded | 18 of 18 |
| Coverage | All results currently returned for this benchmark |

Evaluation settings may differ between results. The original papers and recorded configurations are needed to establish comparability. A shared metric name alone does not establish an identical protocol.

## Metrics

- [Accuracy](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/face-verification-on-labeled-faces-in-the-wild-lfw.md?metric=Accuracy>): Higher is better; unit: PERCENT.

- [EER](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/face-verification-on-labeled-faces-in-the-wild-lfw.md?metric=EER>): Lower is better; unit: PERCENT.

- [AUC](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/face-verification-on-labeled-faces-in-the-wild-lfw.md?metric=AUC>): Higher is better; unit: SCALAR.

- [TAR (FAR=10%)](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/face-verification-on-labeled-faces-in-the-wild-lfw.md?metric=TAR%20(FAR%3D10%25)>): Higher is better; unit: PERCENT.

- [TAR (FAR=1%)](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/face-verification-on-labeled-faces-in-the-wild-lfw.md?metric=TAR%20(FAR%3D1%25)>): Higher is better; unit: PERCENT.
