Evaluation of vocabulary difficulty prediction performance on the KVL data test set, reporting Pearson Correlation Coefficients (PCC) across Chinese, German, and Spanish subsets.

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 data (test) |
| Metric | PCC (Chinese) |
| Unit | SCALAR |
| Direction | Higher is better |
| Results loaded | 17 of 17 |
| 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

- [PCC (Chinese)](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/vocabulary-difficulty-prediction-on-kvl-data-test.md?metric=PCC%20(Chinese)>): Higher is better; unit: SCALAR.

- [PCC (German)](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/vocabulary-difficulty-prediction-on-kvl-data-test.md?metric=PCC%20(German)>): Higher is better; unit: SCALAR.

- [PCC (Spanish)](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/vocabulary-difficulty-prediction-on-kvl-data-test.md?metric=PCC%20(Spanish)>): Higher is better; unit: SCALAR.

- [PCC (Mean)](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/vocabulary-difficulty-prediction-on-kvl-data-test.md?metric=PCC%20(Mean)>): Higher is better; unit: SCALAR.
