mindspore.dataset.RandomDataset

class mindspore.dataset.RandomDataset(total_rows=None, schema=None, columns_list=None, num_samples=None, num_parallel_workers=None, cache=None, shuffle=None, num_shards=None, shard_id=None)

A source dataset that generates random data.

Parameters

• total_rows (int, optional) – Number of samples for the dataset to generate. Default: None , number of samples is random.

• schema (Union[str, Schema], optional) – Data format policy, which specifies the data types and shapes of the data column to be read. Both JSON file path and objects constructed by mindspore.dataset.Schema are acceptable. Default: None .

• columns_list (list[str], optional) – List of column names of the dataset. Default: None , the columns will be named like this "c0", "c1", "c2" etc.

• num_samples (int, optional) – The number of samples to be included in the dataset. Default: None , all samples.

• 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() .

• 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.

• shuffle (bool, optional) – Whether or not to perform shuffle on the dataset. Default: None , expected order behavior shown in the table below.

• 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 maximum sample number of per shard. Used in data parallel training .

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

Raises

• 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.

• ValueError – If shard_id is not in range of [0, num_shards ).

• TypeError – If total_rows is not of type int.

• TypeError – If num_shards is not of type int.

• TypeError – If num_parallel_workers is not of type int.

• TypeError – If shuffle is not of type bool.

• TypeError – If columns_list is not of type list.

Examples

>>> from mindspore import dtype as mstype
>>> import mindspore.dataset as ds
>>>
>>> schema = ds.Schema()
>>> schema.add_column('image', de_type=mstype.uint8, shape=[2])
>>> schema.add_column('label', de_type=mstype.uint8, shape=[1])
>>> # apply dataset operations
>>> ds1 = ds.RandomDataset(schema=schema, total_rows=50, num_parallel_workers=4)
