This guide gives an introduction about how to maintain and improve plinder as developer

Code organization

This code is split into 4 sub-packages

• plinder.core: Provides core data structures for interacting with and loading the dataset. Parts of it are exposed as the public API.

• plinder.data: Contains core code for generating the PLINDER dataset.

• plinder.eval: Offers evaluation harness for the dataset that takes as an input predicted and ground truth structures in a pre-determined folder structure an returns a leaderboard-ready set of entries. Parts of it are user-faced via CLI scripts.

• plinder.methods: Implements methods in the leaderboard that leverage PLINDER primitives for training and running.
