Evaluation of Image Captioning performance on the MS COCO dataset, specifically reporting Cider-N and Meteor scores.

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 | Captioning |
| Dataset (including any stated split) | MS-COCO |
| Metric | Cider-N |
| Unit | SCALAR |
| Direction | Higher 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

- [Cider-N](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/image-captioning-on-ms-coco-cider-n-and-meteor.md?metric=Cider-N>): Higher is better; unit: SCALAR.

- [Meteor](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/image-captioning-on-ms-coco-cider-n-and-meteor.md?metric=Meteor>): Higher is better; unit: SCALAR.
