Evaluation of model performance on the Audio-MLQA dataset for Close-ended Spoken Question Answering, reporting scores across multiple languages (English, Vietnamese, Spanish, German, Chinese) and overall average.

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 | Close-ended Spoken Question Answering |
| Dataset (including any stated split) | Audio-MLQA |
| Metric | Score (EN) |
| Unit | SCALAR |
| Direction | Higher is better |
| Results loaded | 10 of 10 |
| 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.
