Evaluation of Vocabulary Difficulty Prediction performance on the KVL BEA Shared Task Open Track test set, reporting language-specific RMSE scores for Chinese, German, and Spanish.

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 | Vocabulary Difficulty Prediction |
| Dataset (including any stated split) | KVL BEA Shared Task Open Track 2026 (test) |
| Metric | Chinese RMSE |
| Unit | SCALAR |
| Direction | Lower is better |
| Results loaded | 11 of 11 |
| 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.
