Thanks for your great work and kind sharing.

I am a beginner in the face area of CV. And I get confused in the evaluation process. According to the lfw_eval.py,https://github.com/clcarwin/sphereface_pytorch/blob/e2f11f0b0f394cf75b9f65ce8d353e4390b0948c/lfw_eval.py#L102-L103 it loads 2 face images, and the model's output is to predict is these 2 images from a single identity.

I did a lot of reading and searching, but cannot sure about is the task in lfw_eval.py exactly the face recognition?

In my point of view, in lfw_eval.py, it is face verification, and face verification is a part of face recognition.

But not sure about it :P
