GPSBench (Applied) - Terrain Classification: leaderboard
Metric: Score (%) on the terrain classification (urban, coastal, mountain, desert, forest or agricultural terrain at a coordinate) task of GPSBench's Applied Track (geographic reasoning that combines coordinates or place names with world knowledge); 1,020 test samples; zero-shot from the model's own knowledge, no tools, no chain-of-thought or few-shot prompting, temperature 0; choice tasks score accuracy and numerical tasks one minus the mean absolute percentage error; higher is better. Source: arxiv.org. Saturation forecast: Around January 2027. 14 models tracked.
