Evaluation of Legal Article Retrieval performance on the test split of the StatuteRAG dataset, measured using Recall and NDCG metrics at K=1, 3, and 5.

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 | Legal Article Retrieval |
| Dataset (including any stated split) | StatuteRAG (test) |
| Metric | Recall@1 |
| Unit | PERCENT |
| Direction | Higher is better |
| Results loaded | 18 of 18 |
| 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

- [Recall@1](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/legal-article-retrieval-on-statuterag-test.md?metric=Recall%401>): Higher is better; unit: PERCENT.

- [Recall@3](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/legal-article-retrieval-on-statuterag-test.md?metric=Recall%403>): Higher is better; unit: PERCENT.

- [Recall@5](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/legal-article-retrieval-on-statuterag-test.md?metric=Recall%405>): Higher is better; unit: PERCENT.

- [NDCG@1](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/legal-article-retrieval-on-statuterag-test.md?metric=NDCG%401>): Higher is better; unit: PERCENT.

- [NDCG@3](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/legal-article-retrieval-on-statuterag-test.md?metric=NDCG%403>): Higher is better; unit: PERCENT.

- [NDCG@5](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/legal-article-retrieval-on-statuterag-test.md?metric=NDCG%405>): Higher is better; unit: PERCENT.
