Evaluation of Search Ranking performance using results from a 14-day A/B test conducted on live production traffic from Baidu Search, focusing on metrics like CTR, Search Activity, and user retention/day away.

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 Ranking |
| Dataset (including any stated split) | Baidu Search Live Production Traffic (14-day A/B test) |
| Metric | Day Away (Median) |
| Unit | SCALAR |
| Direction | Lower is better |
| Results loaded | 2 of 2 |
| 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.
