MeSH-Rel-4K: leaderboard

MeSH-Rel-4K (2026) tests whether small open language models can label the relationship between two biomedical research topics from Medical Subject Headings as broader, narrower, same-as or unrelated, on 800 held-out topic pairs. Macro-averaged F1 over the four relation classes in percent under a standard zero-shot prompt, higher is better; the models run as 4-bit quantized builds.

Metric: Macro F1 (%; mean F1 over the broader, narrower, same-as and other relation classes for 800 held-out MeSH topic pairs; standard zero-shot prompt; 4-bit quantized open models run through KoboldAI). Source: arxiv.org. Saturation forecast: Rough model projection: around 2026. 5 models tracked.
