mindspore.connect_network_with_dataset

mindspore.connect_network_with_dataset(network, dataset_helper)[source]

Connect the network with dataset in dataset_helper.

This function wraps the input network with ‘GetNext’ so that the data can be fetched automatically from the data channel corresponding to the ‘queue_name’ and passed to the input network during forward computation.

Note

In the case of running the network on Ascend/GPU in graph mode, this function will wrap the input network with ‘GetNext’, in other cases, the input network will be returned with no change. The ‘GetNext’ is required to get data only in sink mode, so this function is not applicable to no-sink mode.

Parameters

  • network (Cell) – The training network for dataset.

  • dataset_helper (DatasetHelper) – A class to process the MindData dataset, it provides the type, shape and queue name of the dataset to wrap the GetNext.

Returns

Cell, a new network wrapped with ‘GetNext’ in the case of running the task on Ascend in graph mode, otherwise it is the input network.

Supported Platforms:

Ascend GPU

Examples

>>> from mindspore import DatasetHelper
>>>
>>> # call create_dataset function to create a regular dataset, refer to mindspore.dataset
>>> train_dataset = create_custom_dataset()
>>> dataset_helper = DatasetHelper(train_dataset, dataset_sink_mode=True)
>>> net = Net()
>>> net_with_get_next = connect_network_with_dataset(net, dataset_helper)
