Evaluation of Image Classification performance on the validation split of ImageNet 1K, reporting metrics derived from k-Nearest Neighbors (kNN) and linear probing evaluations (Lin. \[C\], Lin. \[D\]).

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 | 17 of 17 |
| 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-and-linear-evaluation-metrics.md?metric=kNN%20Accuracy>): Higher is better; unit: PERCENT.

- [Linear Probe Acc \[C\]](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/image-classification-on-imagenet-1k-val-knn-and-linear-evaluation-metrics.md?metric=Linear%20Probe%20Acc%20%5BC%5D>): Higher is better; unit: PERCENT.

- [Linear Probe Acc \[D\]](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/image-classification-on-imagenet-1k-val-knn-and-linear-evaluation-metrics.md?metric=Linear%20Probe%20Acc%20%5BD%5D>): Higher is better; unit: PERCENT.

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