Evaluation of Hierarchical Image Classification performance on the iNaturalist 2021 dataset, utilizing metrics across coarse and fine classification levels.

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 | Hierarchical Image Classification |
| Dataset (including any stated split) | iNaturalist 2021 |
| Metric | Accuracy (fine) |
| Unit | PERCENT |
| Direction | Higher is better |
| Results loaded | 16 of 16 |
| 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.
