Thanks for the nice paper and code.
I run the code on SSID Raw Validation dataset (ValidationNoisyBlocksRaw.mat) and it works. The generated log file (A_log_SIDD_Val.csv ) looks good as:

However, When I run the code (with slight modifications to fit the three-channel input) on SSID sRGB Validation dataset (ValidationNoisyBlocksSrgb.mat). The generated log file (A_log_SIDD_Val.csv ) shows that the model seems to converge to the identity mapping.
