Figure, table and section ledger
Editorial contribution type: Efficiency, inference & systems (primary).
Layout extraction, not a required paper template. Counts are distinct caption labels; a multi-panel figure counts once. Section spans are estimated from heading positions, including floats and whitespace. Method and limitations.

Extraction notes: No attached appendix boundary detected. Zero means no recognized caption, not independently verified absence.
Section-by-section lengths and source pages
The title/abstract/front matter precede the first numbered heading. A span ends at the next detected top-level heading, not at the last sentence; end-page whitespace is included. References and statements are listed separately. These are not measurements of text-only or artwork area.

No recognized caption labels.
Separate source files—excluded from canonical-PDF totals
A separate author version may repeat main text and references. Whole-file lengths and counts are not extra appendix material and are never added to the canonical PDF totals. Read the study's source scope for which sections received substantive reading versus layout inspection.
Additional source 1
Separate PDF (or ZIP containing it): whole-file layout of 7 physical pages; 7 detected figures and 7 tables. These may include overlapping main-text material.
Located appendix only: starts on physical p.1; ≈ 6.94 page-equivalents, 7 figure labels and 7 table labels. This interval is distinct from the whole file.
Argument and organization
- 3. Methodology
Splits high-frame-rate video generation from event simulation.
- 4–5. Experiment and Discussion
Separates video-to-event fidelity, text-to-event generation, and downstream utility.
Problem, claim and contribution
The gap is scalable controllable event data generation, distinguished from converting an already captured video.
Section 1 · Main paper · Additional source 2
Argument and section order
The simulator is decomposed into interpolation, brightness threshold/cache, noise, and timestamp reconstruction, with equation-linked stages.

Figures, captions and visual explanation
A logarithmic response plot explains why a balancing parameter changes low/high-light event activation; downstream warped-event and depth outputs inspect simulator consequences.

Tables, comparisons and evidence
The main tables distinguish event quality and simulator runtime from reconstruction performance with a small synthetic-data addition.
Tables 2–3 p. 7 · Main paper · Additional source 2
Appendix and reproducibility
Failure cases identify dependence on the upstream video generator, and additional ablations separate cache, noise, and timestamp choices.
Supplement §§9.1,9.6,12 · Main paper · Additional source 2
Clarity and writing conventions
The depth/flow captions acknowledge camera-event misalignment in the reference dataset instead of silently attributing every discrepancy to the simulator.

What to reuse—and what not to infer
Transferable lesson: A synthesis pipeline should audit upstream generation, physical conversion, and downstream usefulness separately.
Boundary: Simulator runtime is not full text-to-event generation time; synthetic realism remains limited by the upstream video model.
Apply this lesson using the argument and evidence worksheet.
