Evaluation of model performance on the VQA-RAD dataset for Medical Visual Question Answering, utilizing the L-VASE, R, CCS, and CSI metrics.

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 | Medical Visual Question Answering |
| Dataset (including any stated split) | VQA-RAD |
| Metric | L-VASE |
| Unit | PERCENT |
| Direction | Higher is better |
| Results loaded | 6 of 6 |
| 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

- [L-VASE](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/medical-visual-question-answering-on-vqa-rad-l-vase-ccs-csi.md?metric=L-VASE>): Higher is better; unit: PERCENT.

- [R](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/medical-visual-question-answering-on-vqa-rad-l-vase-ccs-csi.md?metric=R>): Higher is better; unit: PERCENT.

- [CCS](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/medical-visual-question-answering-on-vqa-rad-l-vase-ccs-csi.md?metric=CCS>): Higher is better; unit: PERCENT.

- [CSI](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/medical-visual-question-answering-on-vqa-rad-l-vase-ccs-csi.md?metric=CSI>): Higher is better; unit: PERCENT.
