This repository contains the datasets for the paper [Weight Space Representation Learning on Diverse NeRF Architectures](https://arxiv.org/abs/2502.09623), accepted at ICLR 2026. The paper proposes a framework that is capable of processing NeRFs with diverse architectures (MLPs, tri-planes, and hash tables) by training a graph metanetwork to obtain an architecture-agnostic latent space.

Unseen architectures (`nerf/shapenet/hash_unseen`, `nerf/shapenet/mlp_unseen`, and `nerf/shapenet/triplane_unseen`) and Objaverse NeRFs (`nerf/objaverse`) have analogous directory structures.

## NeRF embeddings

Main dataset structure:
```
.
└── emb
    └── model
        └── shapenet
            ├── hash
            │   ├── test
            │   │   └── *.h5
            │   ├── train
            │   │   └── *.h5
            │   └── val
            │       └── *.h5
            ├── mlp
            │   ├── test
            │   │   └── *.h5
            │   ├── train
            │   │   └── *.h5
            │   └── val
            │       └── *.h5
            └── triplane
                ├── test/
                │   └── *.h5
                ├── train
                │   └── *.h5
                └── val

```
where `model`s are:
- `l_con`, aka \\(\mathcal{L}_\text{C}\\)
- `l_rec`, aka \\(\mathcal{L}_\text{R}\\)
- `l_rec_con`, aka \\(\mathcal{L}_\text{R+C}\\)

Unseen architectures (`emb/model/shapenet/hash_unseen`, `emb/model/shapenet/mlp_unseen`, and `emb/model/shapenet/triplane_unseen`) and Objaverse NeRFs (`emb/model/objaverse`) have analogous directory structures.

## Language data

The `language` directory contains \\(\mathcal{L}_\text{R+C}\\) embeddings (i.e. those found in `emb/l_rec_con/shapenet`) paired with textual annotations from the [ShapeNeRF-Text dataset](https://huggingface.co/datasets/andreamaduzzi/ShapeNeRF-Text/tree/main). This directory structure allows running the [official LLaNA code](https://github.com/CVLAB-Unibo/LLaNA) without any additional preprocessing.
