CVPR Season Reminder: Write 78.1, Not 78.13 — Extra Digits Don't Make Results Meaningful

With CVPR submissions approaching, gabriberton reposts his perennial advice: stop cluttering results tables with 4+ decimal places — write 78.1, not 78.13.
Outperforming a competitor by 0.01% is meaningless, and excessive precision only hurts readability. The tip applies to any ML paper. Original: https://t.co/2OojbNyBNO
