Geometric Neural Operators (GNPs) allow for data-driven deep learning of features from point-cloud representations and other datasets for tasks involving geometry. This includes training protocols and learned operators for estimating local curvatures, evaluating geometric differential operators, solvers for PDEs on manifolds, mean-curvature shape flows, and other tasks. The package provides practical neural network architectures and factorizations for training to accounting for geometric contributions and features. The package also has a modular design allowing for use of GNPs within other data-processing pipelines. Pretrained models are also provided for estimating curvatures, Laplace-Beltrami operators, components for PDE solvers, and other geometric tasks.
