Evaluation of Image Captioning performance on the MS-COCO dataset, focusing on standard captioning quality metrics (METEOR, SPICE) alongside specific fairness or bias evaluation 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 |
| Metric | METEOR |
| Unit | PERCENT |
| 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

- [METEOR](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/image-captioning-on-ms-coco-with-gender-bias-metrics.md?metric=METEOR>): Higher is better; unit: PERCENT.

- [SPICE](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/image-captioning-on-ms-coco-with-gender-bias-metrics.md?metric=SPICE>): Higher is better; unit: PERCENT.

- [Misclassification Rate (M-F)](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/image-captioning-on-ms-coco-with-gender-bias-metrics.md?metric=Misclassification%20Rate%20(M-F)>): Lower is better; unit: PERCENT.

- [Misclassification Rate (Overall)](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/image-captioning-on-ms-coco-with-gender-bias-metrics.md?metric=Misclassification%20Rate%20(Overall)>): Lower is better; unit: PERCENT.

- [Misclassification Rate (Composite)](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/image-captioning-on-ms-coco-with-gender-bias-metrics.md?metric=Misclassification%20Rate%20(Composite)>): Lower is better; unit: PERCENT.
