class mindspore.dataset.AGNewsDataset(dataset_dir, usage=None, num_samples=None, num_parallel_workers=None, shuffle=Shuffle.GLOBAL, num_shards=None, shard_id=None, cache=None)[source]

AG News dataset.

The generated dataset has three columns: [index, title, description] , and the data type of three columns is string type.

Parameters
  • dataset_dir (str) – Path to the root directory that contains the dataset.

  • usage (str, optional) – Acceptable usages include 'train' , 'test' and 'all' . Default: None , all samples.

  • num_samples (int, optional) – Number of samples (rows) to read. Default: None , reads the full dataset.

  • num_parallel_workers (int, optional) – Number of worker threads to read the data. Default: None , will use global default workers(8), it can be set by mindspore.dataset.config.set_num_parallel_workers() .

  • shuffle (Union[bool, Shuffle], optional) –

    Perform reshuffling of the data every epoch. Bool type and Shuffle enum are both supported to pass in. Default: Shuffle.GLOBAL . If shuffle is False, no shuffling will be performed. If shuffle is True, it is equivalent to setting shuffle to mindspore.dataset.Shuffle.GLOBAL . Set the mode of data shuffling by passing in enumeration variables:

    • Shuffle.GLOBAL: Shuffle both the files and samples.

    • Shuffle.FILES: Shuffle files only.

  • num_shards (int, optional) – Number of shards that the dataset will be divided into. Default: None. When this argument is specified, num_samples reflects the max sample number of per shard.

  • shard_id (int, optional) – The shard ID within num_shards . This argument can only be specified when num_shards is also specified. Default: None.

  • cache (DatasetCache, optional) – Use tensor caching service to speed up dataset processing. More details: Single-Node Data Cache . Default: None, which means no cache is used.

Raises
  • RuntimeError – If dataset_dir does not contain data files.

  • RuntimeError – If num_shards is specified but shard_id is None.

  • RuntimeError – If shard_id is specified but num_shards is None.

  • ValueError – If num_parallel_workers exceeds the max thread numbers.

About AGNews dataset:

AG is a collection of over 1 million news articles. The news articles were collected by ComeToMyHead from over 2,000 news sources in over 1 year of activity. ComeToMyHead is an academic news search engine that has been in operation since July 2004. The dataset is provided by academics for research purposes such as data mining (clustering, classification, etc.), information retrieval (ranking, searching, etc.), xml, data compression, data streaming, and any other non-commercial activities. AG's news topic classification dataset was constructed by selecting the four largest classes from the original corpus. Each class contains 30,000 training samples and 1,900 test samples. The total number of training samples in train.csv is 120,000 and the number of test samples in test.csv is 7,600.

You can unzip the dataset files into the following structure and read by MindSpore's API:
