Evaluation of model performance on the held-out split of the CLIMAQA dataset for Climate Question Answering.

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 | Climate Question Answering |
| Dataset (including any stated split) | CLIMAQA (held-out) |
| Metric | DBS |
| Unit | SCALAR |
| Direction | Higher is better |
| Results loaded | 9 of 9 |
| 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

- [DBS](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/climate-question-answering-on-climaqa-held-out.md?metric=DBS>): Higher is better; unit: SCALAR.

- [DVS Average @32](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/climate-question-answering-on-climaqa-held-out.md?metric=DVS%20Average%20%4032>): Higher is better; unit: SCALAR.
