mindspore.dataset.SemeionDataset

class mindspore.dataset.SemeionDataset(dataset_dir, num_samples=None, num_parallel_workers=None, shuffle=None, sampler=None, num_shards=None, shard_id=None, cache=None)[source]

Semeion dataset.

The generated dataset has two columns [image, label] . The tensor of column image is of the uint8 type. The tensor of column label is a scalar of the uint32 type.

Parameters

dataset_dir (str) – Path to the root directory that contains the dataset.
num_samples (int, optional) – The number of samples to be included in the dataset. Default: None , will read all images.
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 (bool, optional) – Whether to perform shuffle on the dataset. Default: None , expected order behavior shown in the table below.
sampler (Sampler, optional) – Object used to choose samples from 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.
shard_id (int, optional) – The shard ID within num_shards . Default: None . This argument can only be specified when num_shards is also specified.
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 sampler and shuffle are specified at the same time.
RuntimeError – If sampler and num_shards/shard_id are specified at the same time.
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 ).

Note

This dataset can take in a sampler . sampler and shuffle are mutually exclusive. The table below shows what input arguments are allowed and their expected behavior.

Expected Order Behavior of Using sampler and shuffle
Parameter sampler	Parameter shuffle	Expected Order Behavior
None	None	random order
None	True	random order
None	False	sequential order
Sampler object	None	order defined by sampler
Sampler object	True	not allowed
Sampler object	False	not allowed

Examples

>>> import mindspore.dataset as ds
>>> semeion_dataset_dir = "/path/to/semeion_dataset_directory"
>>>
>>> # 1) Get all samples from SEMEION dataset in sequence
>>> dataset = ds.SemeionDataset(dataset_dir=semeion_dataset_dir, shuffle=False)
>>>
>>> # 2) Randomly select 10 samples from SEMEION dataset
>>> dataset = ds.SemeionDataset(dataset_dir=semeion_dataset_dir, num_samples=10, shuffle=True)
>>>
>>> # 3) Get samples from SEMEION dataset for shard 0 in a 2-way distributed training
>>> dataset = ds.SemeionDataset(dataset_dir=semeion_dataset_dir, num_shards=2, shard_id=0)
>>>
>>> # In SEMEION dataset, each dictionary has keys: image, label.

About SEMEION dataset:

The dataset was created by Tactile Srl, Brescia, Italy (http://www.tattile.it) and donated in 1994 to Semeion Research Center of Sciences of Communication, Rome, Italy (http://www.semeion.it), for machine learning research.

This dataset consists of 1593 records (rows) and 256 attributes (columns). Each record represents a handwritten digit, originally scanned with a resolution of 256 grey scale. Each pixel of the each original scanned image was first stretched, and after scaled between 0 and 1 (setting to 0 every pixel whose value was under the value 127 of the grey scale (127 included) and setting to 1 each pixel whose original value in the grey scale was over 127). Finally, each binary image was scaled again into a 16x16 square box (the final 256 binary attributes).
