mindspore.dataset.MindDataset

class mindspore.dataset.MindDataset(dataset_files, columns_list=None, num_parallel_workers=None, shuffle=None, num_shards=None, shard_id=None, sampler=None, padded_sample=None, num_padded=None, num_samples=None, cache=None)[source]

A source dataset that reads and parses MindRecord dataset.

The columns of generated dataset depend on the source MindRecord files.

Parameters
  • dataset_files (Union[str, list[str]]) – If dataset_file is a str, it represents for a file name of one component of a mindrecord source, other files with identical source in the same path will be found and loaded automatically. If dataset_file is a list, it represents for a list of dataset files to be read directly.

  • columns_list (list[str], optional) – List of columns to be read. Default: None , read all columns.

  • 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. Default: None, performs mindspore.dataset.Shuffle.GLOBAL. Bool type and Shuffle enum are both supported to pass in. If shuffle is False , no shuffling will be performed. If shuffle is True , performs global shuffle. There are three levels of shuffling, desired shuffle enum defined by mindspore.dataset.Shuffle .

    • Shuffle.GLOBAL : Global shuffle of all rows of data in dataset, same as setting shuffle to True.

    • Shuffle.FILES : Shuffle the file sequence but keep the order of data within each file. Not supported when the number of samples in the dataset is greater than 100 million.

    • Shuffle.INFILE : Keep the file sequence the same but shuffle the data within each file. Not supported when the number of samples in the dataset is greater than 100 million.

  • 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.

  • sampler (Sampler, optional) – Object used to choose samples from the dataset. Default: None , sampler is exclusive with shuffle and block_reader. Support list: mindspore.dataset.SubsetRandomSampler, mindspore.dataset.PKSampler, mindspore.dataset.RandomSampler, mindspore.dataset.SequentialSampler, mindspore.dataset.DistributedSampler.

  • padded_sample (dict, optional) – Samples will be appended to dataset, where keys are the same as columns_list. Default: None.

  • num_padded (int, optional) – Number of padding samples. Dataset size plus num_padded should be divisible by num_shards. Default: None.

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

  • 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
  • ValueError – If dataset_files are not valid or do not exist.

  • ValueError – If num_parallel_workers exceeds the max thread numbers.

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

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

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

Note

  • The parameters num_samples , shuffle , num_shards , shard_id can be used to control the sampler used in the dataset, and their effects when combined with parameter sampler are as follows.
