Evaluation of hierarchical image classification performance on the test split of the tieredImageNet-H dataset, focusing on hierarchical distance 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 | Image Classification |
| Dataset (including any stated split) | tieredImageNet-H (test) |
| Metric | Hierarchical Distance @1 |
| Unit | SCALAR |
| Direction | Lower is better |
| Results loaded | 38 of 38 |
| 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

- [Hierarchical Distance @1](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/hierarchical-image-classification-on-tieredimagenet-h-test.md?metric=Hierarchical%20Distance%20%401>): Lower is better; unit: SCALAR.

- [Top-1 Error](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/hierarchical-image-classification-on-tieredimagenet-h-test.md?metric=Top-1%20Error>): Lower is better; unit: PERCENT.

- [Mistake Severity](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/hierarchical-image-classification-on-tieredimagenet-h-test.md?metric=Mistake%20Severity>): Lower is better; unit: SCALAR.

- [Hierarchical Distance @5](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/hierarchical-image-classification-on-tieredimagenet-h-test.md?metric=Hierarchical%20Distance%20%405>): Lower is better; unit: SCALAR.

- [Hierarchical Distance @20](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/hierarchical-image-classification-on-tieredimagenet-h-test.md?metric=Hierarchical%20Distance%20%4020>): Lower is better; unit: SCALAR.

- [Accuracy](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/hierarchical-image-classification-on-tieredimagenet-h-test.md?metric=Accuracy>): Higher is better; unit: PERCENT.

- [MS](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/hierarchical-image-classification-on-tieredimagenet-h-test.md?metric=MS>): Lower is better; unit: SCALAR.

- [HOPS](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/hierarchical-image-classification-on-tieredimagenet-h-test.md?metric=HOPS>): Higher is better; unit: SCALAR.

- [HOPS@5](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/hierarchical-image-classification-on-tieredimagenet-h-test.md?metric=HOPS%405>): Higher is better; unit: SCALAR.

- [HOPS@20](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/hierarchical-image-classification-on-tieredimagenet-h-test.md?metric=HOPS%4020>): Higher is better; unit: SCALAR.
