Evaluation of Image Classification performance on the combined test split of the four digit datasets: MNIST, SVHN, MNIST-M, and USPS, reporting per-dataset scores and overall average.

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) | Digits MNIST SVHN MNIST-M USPS (test) |
| Metric | Accuracy (MNIST) |
| Unit | PERCENT |
| Direction | Higher is better |
| Results loaded | 6 of 6 |
| 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 (MNIST)](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/image-classification-on-digits-mnist-svhn-mnist-m-usps-test.md?metric=Accuracy%20(MNIST)>): Higher is better; unit: PERCENT.

- [Accuracy (SVHN)](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/image-classification-on-digits-mnist-svhn-mnist-m-usps-test.md?metric=Accuracy%20(SVHN)>): Higher is better; unit: PERCENT.

- [Accuracy (MNIST-M)](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/image-classification-on-digits-mnist-svhn-mnist-m-usps-test.md?metric=Accuracy%20(MNIST-M)>): Higher is better; unit: PERCENT.

- [Accuracy (USPS)](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/image-classification-on-digits-mnist-svhn-mnist-m-usps-test.md?metric=Accuracy%20(USPS)>): Higher is better; unit: PERCENT.

- [Average Accuracy](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/image-classification-on-digits-mnist-svhn-mnist-m-usps-test.md?metric=Average%20Accuracy>): Higher is better; unit: PERCENT.

- [Gain](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/image-classification-on-digits-mnist-svhn-mnist-m-usps-test.md?metric=Gain>): Higher is better; unit: SCALAR.
