Evaluation of Masked Language Modeling performance on the held-out set of the GRCh37 human reference genome, measured using Bits Per Character (BPC).

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 | Masked Language Modeling |
| Dataset (including any stated split) | GRCh37 human reference genome (held-out set) |
| Metric | BPC |
| Unit | SCALAR |
| Direction | Lower is better |
| Results loaded | 3 of 3 |
| 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

- [BPC](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/masked-language-modeling-on-grch37-human-reference-genome-held-out-set.md?metric=BPC>): Lower is better; unit: SCALAR.
