Evaluation of Image Classification performance on the CIFAR-10 test set, reporting the test error rate and communication overhead percentage.

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) | CIFAR-10 (test) |
| Metric | Test Error Rate |
| Unit | PERCENT |
| Direction | Lower is better |
| Results loaded | 10 of 10 |
| 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

- [Test Error Rate](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/image-classification-on-cifar-10-test-error-rate-and-communication-cost.md?metric=Test%20Error%20Rate>): Lower is better; unit: PERCENT.

- [Communication Overhead (%)](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/image-classification-on-cifar-10-test-error-rate-and-communication-cost.md?metric=Communication%20Overhead%20(%25)>): Lower is better; unit: PERCENT.
