Evaluation of facial age estimation performance on the UTKFace dataset, reporting Mean Absolute Error (MAE) and Cumulative Score (CS).

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 | Facial Age Estimation |
| Dataset (including any stated split) | UTKFace |
| Metric | Mean Absolute Error (MAE) |
| Unit | SCALAR |
| Direction | Lower is better |
| Results loaded | 8 of 8 |
| 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

- [Mean Absolute Error (MAE)](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/facial-age-estimation-on-utkface.md?metric=Mean%20Absolute%20Error%20(MAE)>): Lower is better; unit: SCALAR.

- [Cumulative Score (CS)](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/facial-age-estimation-on-utkface.md?metric=Cumulative%20Score%20(CS)>): Higher is better; unit: PERCENT.
