Evaluation of Search-based Question Answering performance on the SearchQA dataset, reporting component scores for Hotpot, 2Wiki, and Overall results.

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 | Search-based Question Answering |
| Dataset (including any stated split) | SearchQA |
| Metric | Hotpot Score |
| Unit | PERCENT |
| 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

- [Hotpot Score](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/search-based-question-answering-on-searchqa.md?metric=Hotpot%20Score>): Higher is better; unit: PERCENT.

- [2Wiki Score](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/search-based-question-answering-on-searchqa.md?metric=2Wiki%20Score>): Higher is better; unit: PERCENT.

- [Overall Score](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/search-based-question-answering-on-searchqa.md?metric=Overall%20Score>): Higher is better; unit: PERCENT.
