Role of cycle number M

[straeter]

Hey, great work you did!

as I understand it correctly from the paper, the number of cycles M plays a crucial role in the output quality. I have a couple of questions about it:

• in the paper it looks like the quality increases with each cycle, but most often the plots only show until cycle 5. How high an you get here? Let us say you do not care about time/resources and just want to have the best quality possible.
• do I get it right that the number M in the code is epochs//cycle-epochs?
• what was the number of cycles for the pretrained model?

Thanks!
