Evaluation of model performance specifically on the SST-2 and MNLI components of the GLUE benchmark suite.

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 Understanding |
| Dataset (including any stated split) | GLUE |
| Metric | SST-2 Accuracy |
| Unit | PERCENT |
| Direction | Higher is better |
| Results loaded | 17 of 17 |
| 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

- [SST-2 Accuracy](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/natural-language-understanding-on-glue-sst-2-and-mnli-subset.md?metric=SST-2%20Accuracy>): Higher is better; unit: PERCENT.

- [MNLI Accuracy](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/natural-language-understanding-on-glue-sst-2-and-mnli-subset.md?metric=MNLI%20Accuracy>): Higher is better; unit: PERCENT.

- [GLUE Average Accuracy](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/natural-language-understanding-on-glue-sst-2-and-mnli-subset.md?metric=GLUE%20Average%20Accuracy>): Higher is better; unit: PERCENT.
