Question about pointcloud sampler about attmpti HOT 1 OPEN

Hi, I came across this issue as well. The sampler is using ground truth information to sample a point cloud for the query set that is guaranteed to contain one of the target classes in the support set. In a real-world scenario, it could be possible that the query point cloud does not contain any of the classes in the support set. In theory, one would need to test against multiple query point clouds per training step, where some queries may contain the target classes and some don't. However, testing against a large number of query point clouds on each single step doesn't seem feasible. Maybe one could sample one positive query, that contains the target class and one negative query that doesn't, similar to triplet mining when training siamese neural networks.

As this is basically the first and currently only project that deals with few-shot segmentation for point clouds, I couldn't find another reference implementation to check how they are dealing with this issue. Does anyone know how few-shot segmentation methods for images are approaching this?
