OpenSVBench: Diagnosing Speaker Verification Generalization Across Deployment Scenarios

Speaker verification (SV) systems now achieve very low error rates on standard public protocols, but those results do not fully describe deployment generalization. VoxCeleb-style evaluations remain useful anchors for English in-the-wild media speech. Scenario-specific evaluations and challenges are also valuable. However, neither setting directly shows whether the same system remains reliable across diverse deployment scenarios. We introduce OpenSVBench, a public benchmark for cross-scenario SV evaluation. Its fixed public core contains 26 trial sets organized into 11 scenario groups, with 9.15M verification trials, frozen target/non-target keys, and metadata for scenario-wise reporting. Around this core, the online leaderboard acts as a diagnostic evaluation interface rather than only a ranked list. It accepts score packages from new systems, evaluates them with frozen keys and common scoring, and reports trial-set breakdowns, scenario-group metrics, macro EER/minDCF, model-wise profiles, and scenario-wise comparisons. We evaluate 18 public checkpoints spanning x-vector, ECAPA-TDNN, CAMPPlus, ResNet and ERes variants, ReDimNet2, SAM-ResNet, and pretrained Transformer speaker recipes. The results show clear cross-scenario gaps: systems with similar macro EER can have different scenario profiles, strong performance in one scenario does not guarantee strong performance in another, and same-scenario trial sets can still expose source and protocol gaps.
