Convert GMM-UBM scores to equicalent accuracy perc

问题:

I have constructed a GMM-UBM model for the speaker recognition purpose. The output of models adapted for each speaker some scores calculated by log likelihood ratio. Now I want to convert these likelihood scores to equivalent number between 0 and 100. Can anybody guide me please?

There is no straightforward formula. You can do simple things like

prob = exp(logratio_score)

but those might not reflect the true distribution of your data. The computed probability percentage of your samples will not be uniformly distributed.

Ideally you need to take a large dataset and collect statistics on what acceptance/rejection rate do you have for what score. Then once you build a histogram you can normalize the score difference by that spectrogram to make sure that 30% of your subjects are accepted if you see the certain score difference. That normalization will allow you to create uniformly distributed probability percentages. See for example How to calculate the confidence intervals for likelihood ratios from a 2x2 table in the presence of cells with zeroes

This problem is rarely solved in speaker identification systems because confidence intervals is not what you want actually want to display. You need a simple accept/reject decision and for that you need to know the amount of false rejects and accept rate. So it is enough to find just a threshold, not build the whole distribution.
