Evaluation of Image Classification performance across a suite containing 20 distinct classification tasks, reporting aggregated results based on merging subsets of these tasks (e.g., 4 tasks merged, 20 tasks merged).

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) | 20 Image Classification Tasks |
| Metric | Accuracy (4 tasks merged) |
| 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

- [Accuracy (4 tasks merged)](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/image-classification-on-20-image-classification-tasks.md?metric=Accuracy%20(4%20tasks%20merged)>): Higher is better; unit: PERCENT.

- [Accuracy (8 tasks merged)](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/image-classification-on-20-image-classification-tasks.md?metric=Accuracy%20(8%20tasks%20merged)>): Higher is better; unit: PERCENT.

- [Accuracy (12 tasks merged)](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/image-classification-on-20-image-classification-tasks.md?metric=Accuracy%20(12%20tasks%20merged)>): Higher is better; unit: PERCENT.

- [Accuracy (16 tasks merged)](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/image-classification-on-20-image-classification-tasks.md?metric=Accuracy%20(16%20tasks%20merged)>): Higher is better; unit: PERCENT.

- [Accuracy (20 tasks merged)](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/image-classification-on-20-image-classification-tasks.md?metric=Accuracy%20(20%20tasks%20merged)>): Higher is better; unit: PERCENT.
