# Question Answering on SQuAD (Communication Time & Reduction) Source: [Question Answering on SQuAD (Communication Time & Reduction)]() Collection index: [llms.txt]() Data updated: 2026-02-26T05:39:36.413Z Evaluation of distributed system performance for Question Answering models on the SQuAD dataset, focusing on communication overhead and performance reduction relative to baselines. 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 | Question Answering | | Dataset (including any stated split) | SQuAD | | Metric | Communication Time (10^3 s) | | Unit | TIME | | 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 - [Communication Time (10^3 s)](): Lower is better; unit: TIME. - [Reduction vs Baseline](): Higher is better; unit: SCALAR. ## Recorded results | Method | Communication Time (10^3 s) | Result date | Report paper | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | ELSA | 12.23 | Not recorded | 69705dc4e25ad2fa9d1ed51f | | FedProx | 13.08 | Not recorded | 69705dc4e25ad2fa9d1ed51f | | RoFed | 13.08 | Not recorded | 69705dc4e25ad2fa9d1ed51f | | FedCAda | 13.3 | Not recorded | 69705dc4e25ad2fa9d1ed51f | | RaSA | 13.73 | Not recorded | 69705dc4e25ad2fa9d1ed51f | | FedAvg | 13.94 | Not recorded | 69705dc4e25ad2fa9d1ed51f | | FedAMS | 14.16 | Not recorded | 69705dc4e25ad2fa9d1ed51f | | FedAvg (Random) | 14.58 | Not recorded | 69705dc4e25ad2fa9d1ed51f | | Vanilla Model | 36.93 | Not recorded | 69705dc4e25ad2fa9d1ed51f | ### ELSA Communication Time (10^3 s): 12.23.
