Evaluation of the runtime performance (measured in minutes) for Document Classification models on the preprocessed test split of the 20 Newsgroups dataset.

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 | Document Classification |
| Dataset (including any stated split) | 20NEWS preprocessed (test) |
| Metric | Runtime (min) |
| Unit | TIME |
| Direction | Lower 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

- [Runtime (min)](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/document-classification-on-20news-preprocessed-test.md?metric=Runtime%20(min)>): Lower is better; unit: TIME.
