Evaluation of counterfactual explanation generation methods on the MNIST dataset, focusing on explanation quality metrics such as AUPCc, AUPCc', and COUT.

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 | Counterfactual Explanation Generation |
| Dataset (including any stated split) | MNIST |
| Metric | AUPCc' |
| Unit | PERCENT |
| Direction | Higher is better |
| Results loaded | 5 of 5 |
| 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

- [AUPCc'](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/counterfactual-explanation-generation-on-mnist-quality-metrics.md?metric=AUPCc%27>): Higher is better; unit: PERCENT.

- [AUPCc](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/counterfactual-explanation-generation-on-mnist-quality-metrics.md?metric=AUPCc>): Higher is better; unit: PERCENT.

- [COUT](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/counterfactual-explanation-generation-on-mnist-quality-metrics.md?metric=COUT>): Higher is better; unit: PERCENT.
