Evaluation of Distractor Generation performance on the test split of the MCQ dataset, measured using ranking and retrieval metrics (P@1, R@1, F1@3, MRR, NDCG@3).

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 | Distractor Generation |
| Dataset (including any stated split) | MCQ (test) |
| Metric | P@1 |
| Unit | PERCENT |
| Direction | Higher is better |
| Results loaded | 17 of 17 |
| 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

- [P@1](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/distractor-generation-on-mcq-test.md?metric=P%401>): Higher is better; unit: PERCENT.

- [R@1](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/distractor-generation-on-mcq-test.md?metric=R%401>): Higher is better; unit: PERCENT.

- [F1@3](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/distractor-generation-on-mcq-test.md?metric=F1%403>): Higher is better; unit: PERCENT.

- [MRR](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/distractor-generation-on-mcq-test.md?metric=MRR>): Higher is better; unit: PERCENT.

- [NDCG@3](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/distractor-generation-on-mcq-test.md?metric=NDCG%403>): Higher is better; unit: PERCENT.
