Help Request: Using `x, y, z` points stored in CSV

Hello! Thank you for sharing this implementation of PointNet! I am currently working on neutrino vs background classification for my masters research and was unsure about how my data format would fit this NN implementation.
The dataset I have has x, y, z positions and a label indicating whether it is a neutrino or background in csv format. I can group the neutrinos into muon events that will represent point clouds.
dom_id, pmt_id, pos_x ,pos_y, pos_z, dir_x ,dir_y, dir_z, tot, time, label
321.0, 5.0, -17.660999999999994, 32.245,65.23100000000001, -0.46, -0.266, -0.847, 26.0, 0.0, 0
The example here uses .off files and I am unsure if my data will work here since it is just plain x, y, z points and does not have meshes. Is it possible to use this data and format with the implementation? The pointnet paper does mention that simple x,y,z coordinates can be used at the very least but I'm not very confident. Any advice would be quite appreciated!
