Hi! I appreciate Mistral team for this amazing work. I was reading the paper and got stuck at what these offsets(row, column) mean in the figure 5. Can you elaborate please?

Thanks!

Hi! We don't work at Mistral, but thank you :)

The row/column offsets indicate the position where each row/column start in the compressed, nonzero data. You can learn more by reading about compressed sparse row/column sparse matrix formats!

I would also suggest this blog post: https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/sparse-matrix-representations-set-3-csr/ which may be easier to understand. Hope this helps.
