Syslog Severity Classification - Zero-Shot: leaderboard
Small and small reasoning language models label real Linux journalctl log entries with their syslog severity level (0-7) with only a role instruction and the rule to answer with one digit; malformed or verbose answers count as wrong. Accuracy in percent on 9,355 held-out logs, higher is better; Masri et al. (George Mason University), 2026.
Metric: Accuracy on 9,355 held-out journalctl logs, exact syslog severity level (%). Source: arxiv.org. Saturation forecast: Estimated already saturated. 9 models tracked.
