Evaluation of Image Classification performance on the ImageNet-9 dataset, specifically measured using the custom 'IN-9 Gap' metric.

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-9 |
| Metric | IN-9 Gap |
| Unit | SCALAR |
| Direction | Higher is better |
| Results loaded | 5 of 5 |
| 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

- [IN-9 Gap](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/image-classification-on-imagenet-9-in-9-gap.md?metric=IN-9%20Gap>): Higher is better; unit: SCALAR.
