Prerequisites

This codebase is tested using the environment with the following key packages:

Installation

Prepare conda environment with proper Python:

conda create -n nclaw python=3.10  # create env
conda activate nclaw               # activate env

Install required packages:

conda install pytorch torchvision torchaudio pytorch-cuda=11.7 -c pytorch -c nvidia
conda install numpy scipy pyvista hydra-core trimesh einops tqdm psutil tensorboard -c defaults -c conda-forge

Compile warp and install nclaw:

bash ./build.sh

Experiments

Generate dataset:

python experiments/scripts/dataset/main.py

Train NCLaw:

python experiments/scripts/train/invariant_full_meta-invariant_full_meta.py

Evaluate NCLaw:
