Evaluation of time-series forecasting models using the COVID-19 dataset, specifically focusing on the 'Input Length 20' configuration on the test split, measured by RMSE and MAE across 20, 79, and 320 regions.

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 | Time-series forecasting |
| Dataset (including any stated split) | COVID-19 Input Length 20 (test) |
| Metric | RMSE (20 regions) |
| Unit | SCALAR |
| Direction | Lower is better |
| Results loaded | 26 of 26 |
| 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.
