Evaluation of the trade-off between privacy preservation and data utility using the STS12 dataset, measured by Leakage, Confidence, and Downstream performance.

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 | Privacy-utility tradeoff |
| Dataset (including any stated split) | STS12 |
| Metric | Leakage |
| Unit | SCALAR |
| Direction | Lower is better |
| Results loaded | 16 of 16 |
| 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

- [Leakage](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/privacy-utility-tradeoff-on-sts12.md?metric=Leakage>): Lower is better; unit: SCALAR.

- [Confidence](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/privacy-utility-tradeoff-on-sts12.md?metric=Confidence>): Higher is better; unit: SCALAR.

- [Downstream Performance](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/privacy-utility-tradeoff-on-sts12.md?metric=Downstream%20Performance>): Higher is better; unit: SCALAR.
