Evaluation of standard Image Classification performance on the CIFAR-100 dataset, reporting the overall Error Rate alongside specific Expected Calibration Error (ECE) metrics (smooth, empirical, and weighted).

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-100 |
| Metric | Error Rate |
| Unit | PERCENT |
| Direction | Lower is better |
| Results loaded | 16 of 16 |
| 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

- [Error Rate](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/image-classification-on-cifar-100-error-rate-and-calibration.md?metric=Error%20Rate>): Lower is better; unit: PERCENT.

- [Smooth ECE](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/image-classification-on-cifar-100-error-rate-and-calibration.md?metric=Smooth%20ECE>): Lower is better; unit: PERCENT.

- [Empirical ECE](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/image-classification-on-cifar-100-error-rate-and-calibration.md?metric=Empirical%20ECE>): Lower is better; unit: PERCENT.

- [Weighted ECE](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/image-classification-on-cifar-100-error-rate-and-calibration.md?metric=Weighted%20ECE>): Lower is better; unit: PERCENT.
