Evaluation of models generating counterfactual explanations using the MNIST dataset, measured by inference time.

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 | Inference Time (sec) |
| Unit | TIME |
| Direction | Lower is better |
| Results loaded | 4 of 4 |
| 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

- [Inference Time (sec)](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/counterfactual-explanation-generation-on-mnist.md?metric=Inference%20Time%20(sec)>): Lower is better; unit: TIME.
