Re: Questions Regarding White Paper

Hi Thanos,

In this case, we would need to evaluate the CPU and GPU methods separately. Since you are submitting essentially the same method, but to different tracks, that's not a problem.

It's ok to describe both in a single paper, as long as you follow all the other guidelines, and the difference is made clear.

Best,

Dear Organizers,
Thank you for your previous clarification regarding submissions across both CPU and GPU tracks. I would like to further confirm a few points, as we are now planning to use two structurally similar but not identical codecs — with differences in network depth, channel number, model complexity, and training strategies — to the GPU and CPU tracks.
On this matter, I have three specific questions:
1.Are the CPU and GPU tracks evaluated together in a single Elo ranking, or are they scored separately?
2.If the two submissions use different codec structures (thus yielding different decoded images), would they have its own Elo score instead of sharing the same score as you mentioned before?
3.In the case where the two codecs are structurally similar (but with variations in depth,  channel number , complexity, or training strategies), would it be necessary to prepare and submit two separate white papers, or would one document be sufficient?
We would greatly appreciate your clarification on these points so that we can prepare our submissions accordingly.
Best regards,
Thanos

Hi Thanos,

please use the OpenReview link on the Tasks page (top panel). You will find further instructions there.

Yes, the paper should list all the team members as authors.

Dear Organizers,

I would like to seek clarification on several points regarding the white paper submission:

1. Through what channel and in what format should the white paper be submitted?

2. If two tracks (with two accounts) share the same white paper, should both accounts submit an identical copy of the white paper?

3. Should the final team members and their order be consistent with the author list in the white paper?

Thank you very much for your guidance.

Best regards,
Thanos
