Evaluation of counterfactual explanation methods on the test split of the MNIST dataset, focusing on metrics such as IM1, Implausibility, Robustness Ratio, and Validity.

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 Explanations |
| Dataset (including any stated split) | MNIST (test) |
| Metric | IM1 Score |
| Unit | SCALAR |
| Direction | Higher is better |
| Results loaded | 11 of 11 |
| 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

- [IM1 Score](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/counterfactual-explanations-on-mnist-test.md?metric=IM1%20Score>): Higher is better; unit: SCALAR.

- [Implausibility](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/counterfactual-explanations-on-mnist-test.md?metric=Implausibility>): Lower is better; unit: SCALAR.

- [Robustness Ratio (1e-3)](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/counterfactual-explanations-on-mnist-test.md?metric=Robustness%20Ratio%20(1e-3)>): Higher is better; unit: PERCENT.

- [Validity](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/counterfactual-explanations-on-mnist-test.md?metric=Validity>): Higher is better; unit: PERCENT.
