Evaluation of Image Captioning performance on the validation split of the MS COCO v1.3 dataset, assessed using CHAIRi, CHAIRs, and Cover 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 Captioning |
| Dataset (including any stated split) | MS COCO v1.3 (val) |
| Metric | CHAIRi |
| Unit | PERCENT |
| Direction | Higher is better |
| Results loaded | 12 of 12 |
| 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

- [CHAIRi](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/image-captioning-on-ms-coco-v1-3-val.md?metric=CHAIRi>): Higher is better; unit: PERCENT.

- [CHAIRs](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/image-captioning-on-ms-coco-v1-3-val.md?metric=CHAIRs>): Higher is better; unit: PERCENT.

- [Cover](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/image-captioning-on-ms-coco-v1-3-val.md?metric=Cover>): Higher is better; unit: PERCENT.
