Evaluation of model performance on generating textual explanations using the ECQA dataset, assessed primarily through human evaluation scores and inter-annotator agreement (Cohen's kappa).

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 | Natural Language Explanation Generation |
| Dataset (including any stated split) | ECQA |
| Metric | Human Evaluation Score |
| Unit | SCALAR |
| Direction | Higher is better |
| Results loaded | 7 of 7 |
| 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

- [Human Evaluation Score](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/natural-language-explanation-generation-on-ecqa.md?metric=Human%20Evaluation%20Score>): Higher is better; unit: SCALAR.

- [Cohen's Kappa](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/natural-language-explanation-generation-on-ecqa.md?metric=Cohen%27s%20Kappa>): Higher is better; unit: SCALAR.
