>>> def apply_func(data):
...     data = data.batch(2)
...     return data

batch(batch_size, drop_remainder=False, num_parallel_workers=None, per_batch_map=None, input_columns=None, output_columns=None, column_order=None, pad_info=None, python_multiprocessing=False, max_rowsize=16)

Combine batch_size number of consecutive rows into batches.

For any child node, a batch is treated as a single row. For any column, all the elements within that column must have the same shape. If a per_batch_map callable is provided, it will be applied to the batches of tensors.

Note

The order of using repeat and batch reflects the number of batches and per_batch_map. It is recommended that the repeat operation applied after the batch operation finished.

Parameters

  • batch_size (int or function) – The number of rows each batch is created with. An int or callable object which takes exactly 1 parameter, BatchInfo.

  • drop_remainder (bool, optional) – Determines whether or not to drop the last block whose data row number is less than batch size (default=False). If True, and if there are less than batch_size rows available to make the last batch, then those rows will be dropped and not propagated to the child node.

  • num_parallel_workers (int, optional) – Number of workers(threads) to process the dataset in parallel (default=None).

  • per_batch_map (callable, optional) – Per batch map callable (default=None). A callable which takes (list[Tensor], list[Tensor], …, BatchInfo) as input parameters. Each list[Tensor] represents a batch of Tensors on a given column. The number of lists should match with the number of entries in input_columns. The last parameter of the callable should always be a BatchInfo object. Per_batch_map should return (list[Tensor], list[Tensor], …). The length of each list in output should be the same as the input. output_columns is required if the number of output lists is different from input.

  • input_columns (Union[str, list[str]], optional) – List of names of the input columns. The size of the list should match with signature of per_batch_map callable (default=None).

  • output_columns (Union[str, list[str]], optional) – List of names assigned to the columns outputted by the last operation. This parameter is mandatory if len(input_columns) != len(output_columns). The size of this list must match the number of output columns of the last operation. (default=None, output columns will have the same name as the input columns, i.e., the columns will be replaced).

  • column_order (Union[str, list[str]], optional) – Specifies the list of all the columns you need in the whole dataset (default=None). The parameter is required when len(input_column) != len(output_column). Caution: the list here is not just the columns specified in parameter input_columns and output_columns.

  • pad_info (dict, optional) – Whether to perform padding on selected columns. pad_info={“col1”:([224,224],0)} would pad column with name “col1” to a tensor of size [224,224] and fill the missing with 0 (default=None).

  • python_multiprocessing (bool, optional) – Parallelize Python function per_batch_map with multi-processing. This option could be beneficial if the function is computational heavy (default=False).

  • max_rowsize (int, optional) – Maximum size of row in MB that is used for shared memory allocation to copy data between processes. This is only used if python_multiprocessing is set to True (default=16).

Returns

BatchDataset, dataset batched.

Examples

>>> # 1) Create a dataset where every 100 rows are combined into a batch
>>> # and drops the last incomplete batch if there is one.
>>> dataset = dataset.batch(100, True)
>>>
>>> # 2）resize image according to its batch number, if it's 5-th batch, resize to (5^2, 5^2) = (25, 25)
>>> def np_resize(col, BatchInfo):
...     output = col.copy()
...     s = (BatchInfo.get_batch_num() + 1) ** 2
...     index = 0
...     for c in col:
...         img = Image.fromarray(c.astype('uint8')).convert('RGB')
...         img = img.resize((s, s), Image.ANTIALIAS)
...         output[index] = np.array(img)
...         index += 1
...     return (output,)
>>> dataset = dataset.batch(batch_size=8, input_columns=["image"], per_batch_map=np_resize)
>>>
>>> # 3）Create a dataset where its batch size is dynamic
>>> # Define a callable batch size function and let batch size increase 1 each time.
>>> def add_one(BatchInfo):
...     return BatchInfo.get_batch_num() + 1
>>> dataset = dataset.batch(batch_size=add_one, drop_remainder=True)
>>>
>>> # 4）Create a dataset with batch, then specify the column order.

bucket_batch_by_length(column_names, bucket_boundaries, bucket_batch_sizes, element_length_function=None, pad_info=None, pad_to_bucket_boundary=False, drop_remainder=False)

Bucket elements according to their lengths. Each bucket will be padded and batched when they are full.

A length function is called on each row in the dataset. The row is then bucketed based on its length and bucket boundaries. When a bucket reaches its corresponding size specified in bucket_batch_sizes, the entire bucket will be padded according to pad_info, and then form a batch. Each batch will be full, except one special case: the last batch for each bucket may not be full.

Parameters

  • column_names (list[str]) – Columns passed to element_length_function.

  • bucket_boundaries (list[int]) – A list consisting of the upper boundaries of the buckets. Must be strictly increasing. If there are n boundaries, n+1 buckets are created: One bucket for [0, bucket_boundaries[0]), one bucket for [bucket_boundaries[i], bucket_boundaries[i+1]) for each 0<i<n-1, and the last bucket for [bucket_boundaries[n-1], inf).

  • bucket_batch_sizes (list[int]) – A list consisting of the batch sizes for each bucket. Must contain len(bucket_boundaries)+1 elements.

  • element_length_function (Callable, optional) – A function that takes in M arguments where M = len(column_names) and returns an integer. If no value provided, parameter M the len(column_names) must be 1, and the size of the first dimension of that column will be taken as the length (default=None).

  • pad_info (dict, optional) – The information about how to batch each column. The key corresponds to the column name, and the value must be a tuple of 2 elements. The first element corresponds to the shape to pad to, and the second element corresponds to the value to pad with. If a column is not specified, then that column will be padded to the longest in the current batch, and 0 will be used as the padding value. Any None dimensions will be padded to the longest in the current batch, unless if pad_to_bucket_boundary is True. If no padding is wanted, set pad_info to None (default=None).

  • pad_to_bucket_boundary (bool, optional) – If True, will pad each None dimension in pad_info to the bucket_boundary minus 1. If there are any elements that fall into the last bucket, an error will occur (default=False).

  • drop_remainder (bool, optional) – If True, will drop the last batch for each bucket if it is not a full batch (default=False).

Returns

Dataset, dataset bucketed and batched by length.

>>> # Create a dataset where certain counts rows are combined into a batch
>>> # and drops the last incomplete batch if there is one.

  2. Before calling the function, do not use batch operator, repeat operator or data augmentation operators with random attribute in map operator.

  3. When array dimension is variable, one-dimensional arrays or multi-dimensional arrays with variable dimension 0 are supported.

  4. Mindrecord does not support uint64, multi-dimensional uint8(drop dimension) nor multi-dimensional string.

Parameters

  • file_name (str) – Path to dataset file.

  • num_files (int, optional) – Number of dataset files (default=1).

  • file_type (str, optional) – Dataset format (default=’mindrecord’).

set_dynamic_columns(columns=None)

Set dynamic shape information of source data, it should be set after the pipeline is defined.

Parameters

columns (dict) – A dict contains shape information of each column in dataset. The value of shape[i] is None indicates that the data length of shape[i] is dynamic.

Examples

>>> import numpy as np
>>>
>>> def generator1():
...     for i in range(1, 100):
...         yield np.ones((16, i, 83)), np.array(i)
>>>
>>> dataset = ds.GeneratorDataset(generator1, ["data1", "data2"])
>>> dataset.set_dynamic_columns(columns={"data1": [16, None, 83], "data2": []})
shuffle(buffer_size)

Randomly shuffles the rows of this dataset using the following policy:

  1. Make a shuffle buffer that contains the first buffer_size rows.

  2. Randomly select an element from the shuffle buffer to be the next row propagated to the child node.

  3. Get the next row (if any) from the parent node and put it in the shuffle buffer.

  4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 until there are no more rows left in the shuffle buffer.

A random seed can be provided to be used on the first epoch. In every subsequent epoch, the seed is changed to a new one, randomly generated value.

Parameters

buffer_size (int) – The size of the buffer (must be larger than 1) for shuffling. Setting buffer_size equal to the number of rows in the entire dataset will result in a global shuffle.

Returns

Dataset, dataset shuffled.

Raises

RuntimeError – If exist sync operators before shuffle.

Examples

>>> # dataset is an instance object of Dataset
>>> # Optionally set the seed for the first epoch
>>> ds.config.set_seed(58)
>>> # Create a shuffled dataset using a shuffle buffer of size 4
>>> dataset = dataset.shuffle(4)
skip(count)

Skip the first N elements of this dataset.

Parameters

count (int) – Number of elements in the dataset to be skipped.

Returns

Dataset, dataset that containing rows like origin rows subtract skipped rows.

Examples

>>> # dataset is an instance object of Dataset
>>> # Create a dataset which skips first 3 elements from data
>>> dataset = dataset.skip(3)
split(sizes, randomize=True)

Split the dataset into smaller, non-overlapping datasets.

Parameters

  • sizes (Union[list[int], list[float]]) –

    If a list of integers [s1, s2, …, sn] is provided, the dataset will be split into n datasets of size s1, size s2, …, size sn respectively. If the sum of all sizes does not equal the original dataset size, an error will occur. If a list of floats [f1, f2, …, fn] is provided, all floats must be between 0 and 1 and must sum to 1, otherwise an error will occur. The dataset will be split into n Datasets of size round(f1*K), round(f2*K), …, round(fn*K) where K is the size of the original dataset. If after rounding:

    • Any size equals 0, an error will occur.

    • The sum of split sizes < K, the difference will be added to the first split.

    • The sum of split sizes > K, the difference will be removed from the first large enough split such that it will have at least 1 row after removing the difference.

  • randomize (bool, optional) – Determines whether or not to split the data randomly (default=True). If True, the data will be randomly split. Otherwise, each split will be created with consecutive rows from the dataset.

Note

  1. There is an optimized split function, which will be called automatically when the dataset that calls this function is a MappableDataset.

  2. Dataset should not be sharded if split is going to be called. Instead, create a DistributedSampler and specify a split to shard after splitting. If the dataset is sharded after a split, it is strongly recommended setting the same seed in each instance of execution, otherwise each shard may not be part of the same split (see Examples).

  3. It is strongly recommended to not shuffle the dataset, but use randomize=True instead. Shuffling the dataset may not be deterministic, which means the data in each split will be different in each epoch. Furthermore, if sharding occurs after split, each shard may not be part of the same split.

Raises

  • RuntimeError – If get_dataset_size returns None or is not supported for this dataset.

  • RuntimeError – If sizes is list of integers and sum of all elements in sizes does not equal the dataset size.

  • RuntimeError – If sizes is list of float and there is a split with size 0 after calculations.

  • RuntimeError – If the dataset is sharded prior to calling split.

  • ValueError – If sizes is list of float and not all floats are between 0 and 1, or if the floats don’t sum to 1.

Returns

tuple(Dataset), a tuple of datasets that have been split.

Examples

>>> # Since many datasets have shuffle on by default, set shuffle to False if split will be called!
>>> dataset = ds.ImageFolderDataset(image_folder_dataset_dir, shuffle=False)
>>>
>>> # Set the seed, and tell split to use this seed when randomizing.
>>> # This is needed because sharding will be done later
>>> ds.config.set_seed(58)
>>> train_dataset, test_dataset = dataset.split([0.9, 0.1])
>>>
>>> # To shard the train dataset, use a DistributedSampler
>>> train_sampler = ds.DistributedSampler(10, 2)
>>> train_dataset.use_sampler(train_sampler)
sync_update(condition_name, num_batch=None, data=None)

Release a blocking condition and trigger callback with given data.

Parameters

  • condition_name (str) – The condition name that is used to toggle sending next row.

  • num_batch (Union[int, None]) – The number of batches (rows) that are released. When num_batch is None, it will default to the number specified by the sync_wait operator (default=None).

  • data (Any) – The data passed to the callback, user defined (default=None).

sync_wait(condition_name, num_batch=1, callback=None)

Add a blocking condition to the input Dataset. A synchronize action will be applied.

Parameters

  • condition_name (str) – The condition name that is used to toggle sending next row.

  • num_batch (int) – the number of batches without blocking at the start of each epoch (default=1).

  • callback (function) – The callback function that will be invoked when sync_update is called (default=None).

Returns

SyncWaitDataset, dataset added a blocking condition.

Raises

RuntimeError – If condition name already exists.

>>> import numpy as np
>>> def gen():
...     for i in range(100):
...         yield (np.array(i),)
>>>
>>> class Augment:
...     def __init__(self, loss):

>>>
>>> batch_size = 4
>>> dataset = ds.GeneratorDataset(gen, column_names=["input"])
>>>
>>> aug = Augment(0)
>>> dataset = dataset.sync_wait(condition_name="policy", callback=aug.update)
>>> dataset = dataset.map(operations=[aug.preprocess], input_columns=["input"])

>>> count = 0
>>> for data in dataset.create_dict_iterator(num_epochs=1, output_numpy=True):
...     assert data["input"][0] == count
...     count += batch_size
...     data = {"loss": count}
...     dataset.sync_update(condition_name="policy", data=data)
take(count=- 1)

Takes at most given numbers of elements from the dataset.

Note

  1. If count is greater than the number of elements in the dataset or equal to -1, all the elements in dataset will be taken.

  2. The order of using take and batch matters. If take is before batch operation, then take the given number of rows; otherwise take the given number of batches.

Parameters

count (int, optional) – Number of elements to be taken from the dataset (default=-1).

Returns

Dataset, dataset taken.

Examples

>>> # dataset is an instance object of Dataset
>>> # Create a dataset where the dataset includes 50 elements.
>>> dataset = dataset.take(50)
to_device(send_epoch_end=True, create_data_info_queue=False)

  • create_data_info_queue (bool, optional) – Whether to create queue which stores types and shapes of data or not(default=False).

Note

If device is Ascend, features of data will be transferred one by one. The limitation of data transmission per second is 256M.

Returns

TransferDataset, dataset for transferring.

Raises

RuntimeError – If distribution file path is given but failed to read.
