Evaluation of model performance on the constrained property optimization task using the ZINC250K dataset, measured by Improvement and Success rates.

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 | Constrained Property Optimization |
| Dataset (including any stated split) | ZINC250K |
| Metric | Improvement |
| Unit | SCALAR |
| Direction | Higher is better |
| Results loaded | 27 of 27 |
| 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

- [Improvement](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/constrained-property-optimization-on-zinc250k.md?metric=Improvement>): Higher is better; unit: SCALAR.

- [Success Rate](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/constrained-property-optimization-on-zinc250k.md?metric=Success%20Rate>): Higher is better; unit: PERCENT.
