How to read relevance and efficiency numbers
  • Relevance 1–5 rates how central an item is to the workshop's question, not paper quality. 5 = core, 4 = directly relevant, 3 = relevant or foundational technique, 2 = context (major models, datasets, benchmarks). Scores come from the curating agent's reading of the abstract; treat one-point differences as noise.
  • Efficiency numbers are only comparable within the same measure. closed-loop control (full sense→act loop), open-loop chunk rate (model output rate in isolation), throughput (often batched), relative latency (vs. each paper's own baseline), relative memory and energy are different quantities. Many entries omit hardware; don't compare those at all.
  • Numbers are as the authors state them; nothing was re-measured.
