Evaluation of Image Classification performance on the standard ImageNet dataset, focusing on Top-1 and Top-5 error rates.

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 |
| Metric | Top-1 Error |
| Unit | PERCENT |
| Direction | Lower is better |
| Results loaded | 9 of 9 |
| 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

- [Top-1 Error](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/image-classification-on-imagenet-top-1-and-top-5-error.md?metric=Top-1%20Error>): Lower is better; unit: PERCENT.

- [Top-5 Error](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/image-classification-on-imagenet-top-1-and-top-5-error.md?metric=Top-5%20Error>): Lower is better; unit: PERCENT.
