Evaluation of Language Modeling performance on the WikiText (WT) dataset, specifically measuring the percentage change in Perplexity (PPL) relative to a pretrained baseline model.

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 | Language Modeling |
| Dataset (including any stated split) | WikiText (WT) |
| Metric | Relative PPL Change (%) |
| Unit | PERCENT |
| Direction | Higher is better |
| Results loaded | 16 of 16 |
| 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

- [Relative PPL Change (%)](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/language-modeling-on-wikitext-wt.md?metric=Relative%20PPL%20Change%20(%25)>): Higher is better; unit: PERCENT.
