30 MAPSS Perceptual Separation and Perceptual Match mapss mapss_{ps,pm}_{source}; frame-level tables in the MAPSS result directory MAPSS paper

MAPSS uses a dedicated ordered multi-source input path because each estimate must remain paired with its corresponding reference and at least two pairs are required. Install the pinned optional backend with tools/install_mapss.sh, then pass one source-specific SCP per position through --pred_sources and --gt_sources; see egs/separate_metrics/mapss.yaml. MAPSS 1.1.2 supports Python 3.10--3.12 and requires transformers<4.53, so it is intentionally not part of the VERSA base installation. Its first use downloads the selected pretrained backbone. VERSA retains the frame-level tables because the diagnostic PS mean is not the paper's formal utterance-level aggregation.
