Evaluation of model performance on the AxBench full 500 concepts dataset for the task of Latent Concept Detection, measured by Mean AUROC, EPMean, and EPExemplar.

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 | Latent Concept Detection |
| Dataset (including any stated split) | AxBench full 500 concepts |
| Metric | Mean AUROC |
| Unit | PERCENT |
| Direction | Higher is better |
| Results loaded | 13 of 13 |
| 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

- [Mean AUROC](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/latent-concept-detection-on-axbench-full-500-concepts.md?metric=Mean%20AUROC>): Higher is better; unit: PERCENT.

- [EPMean](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/latent-concept-detection-on-axbench-full-500-concepts.md?metric=EPMean>): Higher is better; unit: PERCENT.

- [EPExemplar](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/latent-concept-detection-on-axbench-full-500-concepts.md?metric=EPExemplar>): Higher is better; unit: PERCENT.
