# News Document Classification on MLDoc (test) Source: [News Document Classification on MLDoc (test)]() Collection index: [llms.txt]() Data updated: 2026-02-26T05:42:22.542Z Evaluation of news document classification performance across multiple languages (French, German, English, Spanish, Chinese, Russian) on the test split of the MLDoc dataset. 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 | News document classification | | Dataset (including any stated split) | MLDoc (test) | | Metric | Error Rate (FR) | | Unit | PERCENT | | Direction | Lower is better | | Results loaded | 9 of 9 | | 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 - [Error Rate (FR)](): Lower is better; unit: PERCENT. - [Error Rate (DE)](): Lower is better; unit: PERCENT. - [Error Rate (EN)](): Lower is better; unit: PERCENT. - [Error Rate (ES)](): Lower is better; unit: PERCENT. - [Error Rate (ZH)](): Lower is better; unit: PERCENT. - [Error Rate (RU)](): Lower is better; unit: PERCENT. ## Recorded results | Method | Error Rate (FR) | Result date | Report paper | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | XLM\_ft Monolingual Baseline (UDA) | 3.95 | Not recorded | 68fa66661e209131cea10217 | | XLM\_ft (UDA+Self) | 4.6 | Not recorded | 68fa66661e209131cea10217 | | XLM\_ft (UDA) | 4.65 | Not recorded | 68fa66661e209131cea10217 | | XLM (UDA+Self) | 4.75 | Not recorded | 68fa66661e209131cea10217 | | XLM (UDA) | 4.97 | Not recorded | 68fa66661e209131cea10217 | | XLM Monolingual Baseline (Ft) | 5.35 | Not recorded | 68fa66661e209131cea10217 | | XLM\_ft (Ft) | 6.3 | Not recorded | 68fa66661e209131cea10217 | | XLM (Ft) | 7.95 | Not recorded | 68fa66661e209131cea10217 | | pre-XLM sota | 21.97 | Not recorded | 68fa66661e209131cea10217 | ### XLM\_ft Monolingual Baseline (UDA) Error Rate (FR): 3.95.
