Evaluation of Image Classification performance metrics (log likelihood, relative error) alongside training time on the training split of the MNIST dataset.

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) | MNIST (train) |
| Metric | Log Likelihood |
| Unit | SCALAR |
| Direction | Higher is better |
| Results loaded | 27 of 27 |
| 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

- [Log Likelihood](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/image-classification-on-mnist-train-likelihood-error-rate-and-time.md?metric=Log%20Likelihood>): Higher is better; unit: SCALAR.

- [Relative Error](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/image-classification-on-mnist-train-likelihood-error-rate-and-time.md?metric=Relative%20Error>): Lower is better; unit: PERCENT.

- [Training Time (s)](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/image-classification-on-mnist-train-likelihood-error-rate-and-time.md?metric=Training%20Time%20(s)>): Lower is better; unit: TIME.
