# Benchmarks

*Avalanche* offers significant support for *defining your own benchmarks* (instantiation of one scenario with one or multiple datasets) or using "**classic" benchmarks** already consolidate in the literature.

You can find **examples** related to the benchmarks here:

* [Classic MNIST benchmarks](https://github.com/ContinualAI/avalanche/blob/master/examples/all_mnist.py): *in this simple example we show all the different ways you can use MNIST with Avalanche.*
* \_\_[CLEAR benchmark](https://github.com/ContinualAI/avalanche/blob/master/examples/clear.py): *training and evaluating on CLEAR benchmark (RGB images)*
* [CLEAR Linear benchmark](https://github.com/ContinualAI/avalanche/blob/master/examples/clear_linear.py): *Training and evaluating on CLEAR benchmark (with pre-trained features)*
* [Detection Benchmark](https://github.com/ContinualAI/avalanche/blob/master/examples/detection_examples_utils.py)*: about the utils you can use create a detection benchmark.*
* [Endless CL Simulator](https://github.com/ContinualAI/avalanche/blob/master/examples/endless_cl_sim.py)*: this example makes use of the Endless-Continual-Learning-Simulator's derived dataset scenario.*
* [Simple CTRL benchmark](https://github.com/ContinualAI/avalanche/blob/master/examples/simple_ctrl.py): *In this example we show a simple way to use the ctrl benchmark*.
* [Hugging Face integration](https://github.com/ContinualAI/avalanche/blob/master/examples/nlp.py)*: how to use Hugging Face models and datasets within Avalanche for Natural Language Processing.*

# Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation

If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter:

```
GET https://avalanche.continualai.org/examples/benchmarks.md?ask=<question>
```

The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
