Evaluation of single-hop question answering performance on the Natural Questions (NQ) dataset, measured using Exact Match (EM) and F1 scores.

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 | Single-hop QA |
| Dataset (including any stated split) | NQ |
| Metric | EM |
| Unit | PERCENT |
| Direction | Higher is better |
| Results loaded | 13 of 13 |
| 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

- [EM](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/single-hop-question-answering-on-nq.md?metric=EM>): Higher is better; unit: PERCENT.

- [F1](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/single-hop-question-answering-on-nq.md?metric=F1>): Higher is better; unit: PERCENT.
