Evaluation of Passage retrieval performance on the test split of the TREC dataset, measured using Top-20 and Top-100 accuracy.

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 | Passage retrieval |
| Dataset (including any stated split) | TREC (test) |
| Metric | Top-20 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

- [Top-20 Accuracy](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/passage-retrieval-on-trec-test.md?metric=Top-20%20Accuracy>): Higher is better; unit: PERCENT.

- [Top-100 Accuracy](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/passage-retrieval-on-trec-test.md?metric=Top-100%20Accuracy>): Higher is better; unit: PERCENT.

- [Top-5 Acc](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/passage-retrieval-on-trec-test.md?metric=Top-5%20Acc>): Higher is better; unit: PERCENT.
