Release SplineGS artifacts on Hugging Face (Code coming soon!)

[NielsRogge]

Hi @Ozbro 🤗

Niels here from the open-source team at Hugging Face. I discovered your work through Hugging Face's daily papers as yours got featured: https://huggingface.co/papers/2412.09982.
The paper page lets people discuss about your paper and lets them find artifacts about it (your models, datasets or demo for instance), you can also claim
the paper as yours which will show up on your public profile at HF, add Github and project page URLs.

I saw in your GitHub repository that the code for SplineGS is planned to be released on May 26, 2025. Once available, it would be great to make the SplineGS model checkpoints and any associated processed datasets (like the Nvidia Dataset you linked on GitHub releases) available on the 🤗 hub, to improve their discoverability/visibility.
We can add tags so that people find them when filtering https://huggingface.co/models and https://huggingface.co/datasets.

Uploading models

See here for a guide: https://huggingface.co/docs/hub/models-uploading.

In this case, we could leverage the PyTorchModelHubMixin class which adds from_pretrained and push_to_hub to any custom nn.Module. Alternatively, one can leverages the hf_hub_download one-liner to download a checkpoint from the hub.

We encourage researchers to push each model checkpoint to a separate model repository, so that things like download stats also work. We can then also link the checkpoints to the paper page.

Uploading dataset

Would be awesome to make any datasets available on 🤗 , so that people can do:

from datasets import load_dataset

dataset = load_dataset("your-hf-org-or-username/your-dataset")

See here for a guide: https://huggingface.co/docs/datasets/loading.

Besides that, there's the dataset viewer which allows people to quickly explore the first few rows of the data in the browser.

You can also build a demo for your model on Spaces, we can provide you a ZeroGPU grant, which gives you A100 GPUs for free.

Let me know if you're interested/need any help regarding this once the code and artifacts are public!

Cheers,

Niels
ML Engineer @ HF 🤗
