tfds.dataset_builders.ViewBuilder

[Experimental] Base builder for views.

Inherits From: GeneratorBasedBuilder, DatasetBuilder

tfds.dataset_builders.ViewBuilder(
    *, file_format: Union[None, str, file_adapters.FileFormat] = None, **kwargs
)

Note that this is an experimental new feature, so the API may change.

ViewBuilder can be used to define a new dataset as the transformation of an existing dataset.

file_format EXPERIMENTAL, may change at any time; Format of the record files in which dataset will be read/written to. If None, defaults to tfrecord.
**kwargs Arguments passed to DatasetBuilder.

builder_config tfds.core.BuilderConfig for this builder.
canonical_version

data_dir Returns the directory where this version + config is stored.

Note that this is different from data_dir_root. For example, if data_dir_root is /data/tfds, then data_dir would be /data/tfds/my_dataset/my_config/1.2.3.

data_dir_root Returns the root directory where all TFDS datasets are stored.

Note that this is different from data_dir, which includes the dataset name, config, and version. For example, if data_dir is /data/tfds/my_dataset/my_config/1.2.3, then data_dir_root is /data/tfds.

data_path Returns the path where this version + config is stored.

Methods

as_data_source

View source

as_data_source(
    split: Optional[Tree[splits_lib.SplitArg]] = None,
    *,
    decoders: Optional[TreeDict[decode.partial_decode.DecoderArg]] = None
) -> ListOrTreeOrElem[Sequence[Any]]

Constructs an ArrayRecordDataSource.

Args
split Which split of the data to load (e.g. 'train', 'test', ['train', 'test'], 'train[80%:]',...). See our split API guide. If None, will return all splits in a Dict[Split, Sequence].
decoders Nested dict of Decoder objects which allow to customize the decoding. The structure should match the feature structure, but only customized feature keys need to be present. See the guide for more info.

Returns
Sequence if split, dict<key: tfds.Split, value: Sequence> otherwise.

Raises
NotImplementedError if the data was not generated using ArrayRecords.

as_dataset

View source

as_dataset(
    split: Optional[Tree[splits_lib.SplitArg]] = None,
    *,
    batch_size: Optional[int] = None,
    shuffle_files: bool = False,
    decoders: Optional[TreeDict[decode.partial_decode.DecoderArg]] = None,
    read_config: Optional[read_config_lib.ReadConfig] = None,
    as_supervised: bool = False
)

Constructs a tf.data.Dataset.

Callers must pass arguments as keyword arguments.

The output types vary depending on the parameters. Examples:

builder = tfds.builder('imdb_reviews')
builder.download_and_prepare()

# Default parameters: Returns the dict of tf.data.Dataset
ds_all_dict = builder.as_dataset()
assert isinstance(ds_all_dict, dict)
print(ds_all_dict.keys())  # ==> ['test', 'train', 'unsupervised']

assert isinstance(ds_all_dict['test'], tf.data.Dataset)
# Each dataset (test, train, unsup.) consists of dictionaries
# {'label': <tf.Tensor: .. dtype=int64, numpy=1>,
#  'text': <tf.Tensor: .. dtype=string, numpy=b"I've watched the movie ..">}
# {'label': <tf.Tensor: .. dtype=int64, numpy=1>,
#  'text': <tf.Tensor: .. dtype=string, numpy=b'If you love Japanese ..'>}

# With as_supervised: tf.data.Dataset only contains (feature, label) tuples
ds_all_supervised = builder.as_dataset(as_supervised=True)
assert isinstance(ds_all_supervised, dict)
print(ds_all_supervised.keys())  # ==> ['test', 'train', 'unsupervised']

assert isinstance(ds_all_supervised['test'], tf.data.Dataset)
# Each dataset (test, train, unsup.) consists of tuples (text, label)
# (<tf.Tensor: ... dtype=string, numpy=b"I've watched the movie ..">,
#  <tf.Tensor: ... dtype=int64, numpy=1>)
# (<tf.Tensor: ... dtype=string, numpy=b"If you love Japanese ..">,
#  <tf.Tensor: ... dtype=int64, numpy=1>)

# Same as above plus requesting a particular split
ds_test_supervised = builder.as_dataset(as_supervised=True, split='test')
assert isinstance(ds_test_supervised, tf.data.Dataset)
# The dataset consists of tuples (text, label)
# (<tf.Tensor: ... dtype=string, numpy=b"I've watched the movie ..">,
#  <tf.Tensor: ... dtype=int64, numpy=1>)
# (<tf.Tensor: ... dtype=string, numpy=b"If you love Japanese ..">,
#  <tf.Tensor: ... dtype=int64, numpy=1>)

Args
split Which split of the data to load (e.g. 'train', 'test', ['train', 'test'], 'train[80%:]',...). See our split API guide. If None, will return all splits in a Dict[Split, tf.data.Dataset].
batch_size int, batch size. Note that variable-length features will be 0-padded if batch_size is set. Users that want more custom behavior should use batch_size=None and use the tf.data API to construct a custom pipeline. If batch_size == -1, will return feature dictionaries of the whole dataset with tf.Tensors instead of a tf.data.Dataset.
shuffle_files bool, whether to shuffle the input files. Defaults to False.
decoders Nested dict of Decoder objects which allow to customize the decoding. The structure should match the feature structure, but only customized feature keys need to be present. See the guide for more info.
read_config tfds.ReadConfig, Additional options to configure the input pipeline (e.g. seed, num parallel reads,...).
as_supervised bool, if True, the returned tf.data.Dataset will have a 2-tuple structure (input, label) according to builder.info.supervised_keys. If False, the default, the returned tf.data.Dataset will have a dictionary with all the features.

Returns
tf.data.Dataset, or if split=None, dict<key: tfds.Split, value: tf.data.Dataset>.

If batch_size is -1, will return feature dictionaries containing the entire dataset in tf.Tensors instead of a tf.data.Dataset.

dataset_info_from_configs

View source

dataset_info_from_configs(
    **kwargs
)

Returns the DatasetInfo using given kwargs and config files.

Sub-class should call this and add information not present in config files using kwargs directly passed to tfds.core.DatasetInfo object.

If information is present both in passed arguments and config files, config files will prevail.

Args
**kwargs kw args to pass to DatasetInfo directly.

download_and_prepare

View source

download_and_prepare(
    *,
    download_dir: Optional[epath.PathLike] = None,
    download_config: Optional[download.DownloadConfig] = None,
    file_format: Optional[Union[str, file_adapters.FileFormat]] = None
) -> None

Downloads and prepares dataset for reading.

Args
download_dir directory where downloaded files are stored. Defaults to "~/tensorflow-datasets/downloads".
download_config tfds.download.DownloadConfig, further configuration for downloading and preparing dataset.
file_format optional str or file_adapters.FileFormat, format of the record files in which the dataset will be written.

Raises
IOError if there is not enough disk space available.
RuntimeError when the config cannot be found.

get_default_builder_config

View source

get_default_builder_config() -> Optional[BuilderConfig]

Returns the default builder config if there is one.

Note that for dataset builders that cannot use the cls.BUILDER_CONFIGS, we need a method that uses the instance to get BUILDER_CONFIGS and DEFAULT_BUILDER_CONFIG_NAME.

Returns
the default builder config if there is one

get_metadata

View source

@classmethod
get_metadata() -> dataset_metadata.DatasetMetadata

Returns metadata (README, CITATIONS, ...) specified in config files.

The config files are read from the same package where the DatasetBuilder has been defined, so those metadata might be wrong for legacy builders.

get_reference

View source

get_reference(
    namespace: Optional[str] = None
) -> naming.DatasetReference

Returns a reference to the dataset produced by this dataset builder.

Includes the config if specified, the version, and the data_dir that should contain this dataset.

Arguments
namespace if this dataset is a community dataset, and therefore has a namespace, then the namespace must be provided such that it can be set in the reference. Note that a dataset builder is not aware that it is part of a namespace.

Returns
a reference to this instantiated builder.

is_prepared

View source

is_prepared() -> bool

Returns whether this dataset is already downloaded and prepared.

read_text_file

View source

read_text_file(
    filename: epath.PathLike, encoding: Optional[str] = None
) -> str

Returns the text in the given file and records the lineage.

read_tfrecord_as_dataset

View source

read_tfrecord_as_dataset(
    filenames: (str | Sequence[str]),
    compression_type: (str | None) = None,
    num_parallel_reads: (int | None) = None
) -> tf.data.Dataset

Returns the dataset for the given tfrecord files and records the lineage.

read_tfrecord_as_examples

View source

read_tfrecord_as_examples(
    filenames: Union[str, Sequence[str]],
    compression_type: (str | None) = None,
    num_parallel_reads: (int | None) = None
) -> Iterator[tf.train.Example]

Returns tf.Examples from the given tfrecord files and records the lineage.

read_tfrecord_beam

View source

read_tfrecord_beam(
    file_pattern, /, **kwargs
) -> 'beam.PTransform'

Returns a PTransform reading the TFRecords and records it in the dataset lineage.

This function records the lineage in the DatasetInfo and then invokes beam.io.ReadFromTFRecord. The kwargs should contain any other parameters for beam.io.ReadFromTFRecord. See https://beam.apache.org/releases/pydoc/2.6.0/apache_beam.io.tfrecordio.html#apache_beam.io.tfrecordio.ReadFromTFRecord

Arguments
file_pattern A file glob pattern to read TFRecords from.
**kwargs the other parameters for beam.io.ReadFromTFRecord.

Returns
a Beam PTransform that reads the given TFRecord files.
