Evaluation of model performance on the TREC-DL-NF (S5) dataset for open-ended question answering capabilities, typically measured using ranking correlation 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 | Open-ended Question Answering |
| Dataset (including any stated split) | TREC-DL-NF (S5) |
| Metric | Kendall's Tau (K) |
| Unit | SCALAR |
| Direction | Higher is better |
| Results loaded | 11 of 11 |
| 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

- [Kendall's Tau (K)](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/open-ended-question-answering-on-trec-dl-nf-s5.md?metric=Kendall%27s%20Tau%20(K)>): Higher is better; unit: SCALAR.

- [Spearman's Rho (S)](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/open-ended-question-answering-on-trec-dl-nf-s5.md?metric=Spearman%27s%20Rho%20(S)>): Higher is better; unit: SCALAR.

- [RBO (p=0.5)](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/open-ended-question-answering-on-trec-dl-nf-s5.md?metric=RBO%20(p%3D0.5)>): Higher is better; unit: SCALAR.

- [RBO (p=0.9)](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/open-ended-question-answering-on-trec-dl-nf-s5.md?metric=RBO%20(p%3D0.9)>): Higher is better; unit: SCALAR.
