# AxoBench

This public working release contains AxoBench, the DendroBench v1 neuronio-like dataset
generated with the CoreNEURON GPU path. It is intended for internal benchmark
validation, diagnostic development, and paper preparation before a public
release decision.

## Layout

- `train/`: 785 compressed NPZ shards, 100,000 traces.
- `val/`: 100 compressed NPZ shards, 12,500 traces.
- `test/`: 100 compressed NPZ shards, 12,500 traces.
- `private-test/`: 100 compressed NPZ shards, 12,500 traces.
- `interventions/<name>/`: paired baseline/intervention NPZ shards for
  `event_dropout`, `exc_dropout`, `inh_dropout`, `site_silence`, and
  `temporal_jitter`; each intervention contains 2,500 paired traces.

The ordinary trace shards use `.npz` files with arrays such as `inputs`,
`targets`, and `sample_ids`. Intervention shards use paired arrays such as
`baseline_inputs`, `intervention_inputs`, `baseline_targets`, and
`intervention_targets`.

## Compression

The payload is stored as shard-wise deflated NPZ files, matching the practical
NeuronIO-style packaging while preserving partial downloads and resumable
uploads. Do not wrap this folder in one monolithic zip or tar archive for the
primary Hugging Face distribution: the shards are already compressed and an
outer archive would make subset access worse.

See `compression_report.json` for measured compression ratios and
`checksums.sha256` for file integrity checks.

## Metadata

- `dataset_manifest_template.json`: intended dataset structure and benchmark
  framing.
- `generation_summary.json`: generation backend, morphology set, sample counts,
  and runtime summary.
- `generation_completion_check.json`: split/intervention completion summary.
- `dataset_package_manifest.json`: upload/package-level summary.
- `compression_report.json`: compression audit.
- `checksums.sha256`: SHA-256 checksums for all packaged files except the
  checksum file itself.

## Access State

This upload is public so collaborators and reviewers can access the packaged
shards directly. The dataset card, license, private-test policy, and
paper-facing framing should still be reviewed before a paper-facing release
tag or DOI mirror.
