abstract
Based on the standard VMAF implementation we propose an implementation of VMAF using PyTorch framework. For this implementation comparisons with the standard (libvmaf) show the discrepancy $\lesssim 10^{-2}$ in VMAF units. We investigate gradients computation when using VMAF as an objective function and demonstrate that training using this function does not result in ill-behaving gradients. The implementation is then used to train a preprocessing filter. It is demonstrated that its performance is superior to the unsharp masking filter. The resulting filter is also easy for implementation and can be applied in video processing tasks for video copression improvement. This is confirmed by the results of numerical experiments.

SIEDD: Shared-Implicit Encoder with Discrete Decoders
A shared encoder trained on a few video frames, followed by frozen-encoder parallel decoder training, cuts neural video encoding time by 20 to 30 times at similar quality.
