Evaluation of model robustness on ImageNet-C, reporting mean Corruption Error (mCE) alongside performance metrics for all 15 standard corruption types (e.g., Gaussian, Motion, Fog).

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 | Robustness |
| Dataset (including any stated split) | ImageNet-C |
| Metric | Mean Corruption Error (mCE) |
| Unit | PERCENT |
| Direction | Lower is better |
| Results loaded | 5 of 5 |
| 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.
