Evaluation of model performance on the AirQA-Real dataset for Paper Question Answering, measuring component-specific scores for text, tables, images, and forms.

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 | Paper Question Answering |
| Dataset (including any stated split) | AirQA-Real |
| Metric | Text Score |
| Unit | PERCENT |
| Direction | Higher is better |
| Results loaded | 15 of 15 |
| 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

- [Text Score](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/paper-question-answering-on-airqa-real.md?metric=Text%20Score>): Higher is better; unit: PERCENT.
