Evaluation of Image Classification performance on the validation split of ImageNet-1K, reporting accuracy using the k-Nearest Neighbors (kNN) protocol.

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) | ImageNet-1K (val) |
| Metric | kNN Accuracy |
| Unit | PERCENT |
| Direction | Higher is better |
| Results loaded | 15 of 15 |
| 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

- [kNN Accuracy](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/image-classification-on-imagenet-1k-val-knn-accuracy.md?metric=kNN%20Accuracy>): Higher is better; unit: PERCENT.
