Evaluation of Document Reranking performance on the test split of the NQ dataset, measured using NDCG@5 and Δ%.

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 Reranking |
| Dataset (including any stated split) | NQ (test) |
| Metric | NDCG@5 |
| Unit | SCALAR |
| Direction | Higher is better |
| Results loaded | 14 of 14 |
| 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

- [NDCG@5](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/document-reranking-on-nq-test.md?metric=NDCG%405>): Higher is better; unit: SCALAR.

- [Delta (%)](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/document-reranking-on-nq-test.md?metric=Delta%20(%25)>): Higher is better; unit: PERCENT.
