Data updated: 2026-02-26T05:53:08.419Z

Evaluation of recommendation performance on the MovieLens dataset, specifically measured using Normalized Discounted Cumulative Gain (NDCG) and Hit Rate (HR) at K=5.

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 | Recommendation |
| Dataset (including any stated split) | MovieLens |
| Metric | NDCG@5 |
| Unit | SCALAR |
| Direction | Higher is better |
| Results loaded | 18 of 18 |
| 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

- [NDCG@5](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/recommendation-on-movielens-ndcg-at-5-and-hr-at-5.md?metric=NDCG%405>): Higher is better; unit: SCALAR.

- [HR@5](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/recommendation-on-movielens-ndcg-at-5-and-hr-at-5.md?metric=HR%405>): Higher is better; unit: PERCENT.
