Questions about Pre-BiT++

[AIVFI]

Many thanks for the RBI dataset with real motion blur. In my opinion, this is a real revolution! It will finally be possible to train Joint Video Deblurring and Frame Interpolation models on a dataset with real motion blur. Also thanks for developing the BiT models and making them available for download.

I am creating on GitHub Video Frame Interpolation Rankings and Video Deblurring Rankings, where each ranking includes only the single best model for one method.

I now intend to add rankings based on the RBI dataset and I make no secret that these will be the most important rankings in my repository. The best results based on your paper were achieved by the Pre-BiT++ model. I have a couple of questions in relation to this:

1. Did I understand correctly that this Pre-BiT++ model is the model trained on Adobe240 and then on RBI?

2. Does Pre-BiT++ also achieve better results visually compared to BiT++(RBI) on the RBI dataset? I mean does Pre-BiT++ not introduce artifacts such as shown in Figure 5 in your paper as in the case of BiT++(Adobe240)?

3. If you were to apply your method to a real movie to be judged by human vision would you choose Pre-BiT++ instead of BiT++(RBI)?

I will choose Pre-BiT++.
