Evaluation of model performance on the BioASQ Task B dataset for Factoid Question Answering, reporting Strict, Lenient, and MRR metrics.

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 | Factoid Question Answering |
| Dataset (including any stated split) | BioASQ Task B |
| Metric | Strict Score |
| Unit | PERCENT |
| Direction | Higher is better |
| Results loaded | 6 of 6 |
| 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

- [Strict Score](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/factoid-question-answering-on-bioasq-task-b.md?metric=Strict%20Score>): Higher is better; unit: PERCENT.

- [Lenient Score](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/factoid-question-answering-on-bioasq-task-b.md?metric=Lenient%20Score>): Higher is better; unit: PERCENT.

- [MRR](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/factoid-question-answering-on-bioasq-task-b.md?metric=MRR>): Higher is better; unit: PERCENT.
