DataSet Iterators

Data iteration tools for loading into neural networks.

What is an iterator?

A dataset iterator allows for easy loading of data into neural networks and help organize batching, conversion, and masking. The iterators included in Eclipse Deeplearning4j help with either user-provided data, or automatic loading of common benchmarking datasets such as MNIST and IRIS.

Usage

For most use cases, initializing an iterator and passing a reference to a MultiLayerNetwork or ComputationGraph fit() method is all you need to begin a task for training:

MultiLayerNetwork model = new MultiLayerNetwork(conf);
model.init();

// pass an MNIST data iterator that automatically fetches data
DataSetIterator mnistTrain = new MnistDataSetIterator(batchSize, true, rngSeed);
net.fit(mnistTrain);

Many other methods also accept iterators for tasks such as evaluation:

// passing directly to the neural network
DataSetIterator mnistTest = new MnistDataSetIterator(batchSize, false, rngSeed);
net.eval(mnistTest);

// using an evaluation class
Evaluation eval = new Evaluation(10); //create an evaluation object with 10 possible classes
while(mnistTest.hasNext()){
    DataSet next = mnistTest.next();
    INDArray output = model.output(next.getFeatureMatrix()); //get the networks prediction
    eval.eval(next.getLabels(), output); //check the prediction against the true class
}

Note that appropriate DL4J fit methods automatically utilize this iterator, so users don’t need to manually wrap their iterators when fitting a network

next

public MultiDataSet next(int num)

setPreProcessor

public void setPreProcessor(MultiDataSetPreProcessor preProcessor)

return true if reset method is supported; false otherwise

asyncSupported

public boolean asyncSupported()

Does this DataSetIterator support asynchronous prefetching of multiple DataSet objects? Most DataSetIterators do, but in some cases it may not make sense to wrap this iterator in an iterator that does asynchronous prefetching. For example, it would not make sense to use asynchronous prefetching for the following types of iterators: (a) Iterators that store their full contents in memory already (b) Iterators that re-use features/labels arrays (as future next() calls will overwrite past contents) (c) Iterators that already implement some level of asynchronous prefetching (d) Iterators that may return different data depending on when the next() method is called

Resets the iterator back to the beginning

shutdown

public void shutdown()

return the next element in the iteration

remove

public void remove()

Removes from the underlying collection the last element returned by this iterator (optional operation). This method can be called only once per call to {- link #next}.

throws UnsupportedOperationException if the {- code remove} operation is not supported by this iterator
throws IllegalStateException if the {- code next} method has not yet been called, or the {- code remove} method has already been called after the last call to the {- code next} method
implSpec The default implementation throws an instance of {- link UnsupportedOperationException} and performs no other action.

Values from each iterator are joined on a per-example basis - i.e., the values from each DataSet are combined as different feature arrays for a multi-input neural network. Labels can come from either one of the underlying DataSetIteartors only (if ‘outcome’ is >= 0) or from all iterators (if outcome is < 0)

JointMultiDataSetIterator

public JointMultiDataSetIterator(DataSetIterator... iterators)

param iterators Underlying iterators to wrap

next

public MultiDataSet next(int num)

param outcome Index to get the label from. If < 0, labels from all iterators will be used to create the final MultiDataSet
param iterators Underlying iterators to wrap

setPreProcessor

public void setPreProcessor(MultiDataSetPreProcessor preProcessor)

Set the preprocessor to be applied to each MultiDataSet, before each MultiDataSet is returned.

param preProcessor MultiDataSetPreProcessor. May be null.

getPreProcessor

public MultiDataSetPreProcessor getPreProcessor()

Get the {- link MultiDataSetPreProcessor}, if one has previously been set. Returns null if no preprocessor has been set

return Preprocessor

resetSupported

public boolean resetSupported()

Is resetting supported by this DataSetIterator? Many DataSetIterators do support resetting, but some don’t

return true if reset method is supported; false otherwise

asyncSupported

public boolean asyncSupported()

Does this MultiDataSetIterator support asynchronous prefetching of multiple MultiDataSet objects? Most MultiDataSetIterators do, but in some cases it may not make sense to wrap this iterator in an iterator that does asynchronous prefetching. For example, it would not make sense to use asynchronous prefetching for the following types of iterators: (a) Iterators that store their full contents in memory already (b) Iterators that re-use features/labels arrays (as future next() calls will overwrite past contents) (c) Iterators that already implement some level of asynchronous prefetching (d) Iterators that may return different data depending on when the next() method is called

return true if asynchronous prefetching from this iterator is OK; false if asynchronous prefetching should not be used with this iterator

reset

public void reset()

Resets the iterator back to the beginning

hasNext

public boolean hasNext()

Returns {- code true} if the iteration has more elements. (In other words, returns {- code true} if {- link #next} would return an element rather than throwing an exception.)

return {- code true} if the iteration has more elements

next

public MultiDataSet next()

Returns the next element in the iteration.

return the next element in the iteration

remove

public void remove()

PLEASE NOTE: This method is NOT implemented

throws UnsupportedOperationException if the {- code remove} operation is not supported by this iterator
throws IllegalStateException if the {- code next} method has not yet been called, or the {- code remove} method has already been called after the last call to the {- code next} method
implSpec The default implementation throws an instance of {- link UnsupportedOperationException} and performs no other action.

FloatsDataSetIterator

[source]

First value in pair is the features vector, second value in pair is the labels. Supports generating 2d features/labels only

FloatsDataSetIterator

public FloatsDataSetIterator(@NonNull Iterable<Pair<float[], float[]>> iterable, int batchSize)

param iterable Iterable to source data from
param batchSize Batch size for generated DataSet objects

FileSplitDataSetIterator

[source]

Simple iterator working with list of files. File to DataSet conversion will be handled via provided FileCallback implementation

FileSplitDataSetIterator

public FileSplitDataSetIterator(@NonNull List<File> files, @NonNull FileCallback callback)

param files List of files to iterate over
param callback Callback for loading the files

MultipleEpochsIterator

[source]

A dataset iterator for doing multiple passes over a dataset

Use MultiLayerNetwork/ComputationGraph.fit(DataSetIterator, int numEpochs) instead

next

public DataSet next(int num)

Like the standard next method but allows a customizable number of examples returned

param num the number of examples
return the next data applyTransformToDestination

inputColumns

public int inputColumns()

Input columns for the dataset

return

totalOutcomes

public int totalOutcomes()

The number of labels for the dataset

return

reset

public void reset()

Resets the iterator back to the beginning

batch

public int batch()

Batch size

return

hasNext

public boolean hasNext()

Returns {- code true} if the iteration has more elements. (In other words, returns {- code true} if {- link #next} would return an element rather than throwing an exception.)

return {- code true} if the iteration has more elements

remove

public void remove()

throws UnsupportedOperationException if the {- code remove} operation is not supported by this iterator
throws IllegalStateException if the {- code next} method has not yet been called, or the {- code remove} method has already been called after the last call to the {- code next} method

MultiDataSetWrapperIterator

[source]

This class is simple wrapper that takes single-input MultiDataSets and converts them to DataSets on the fly

PLEASE NOTE: This only works if number of features/labels/masks is 1

MultiDataSetWrapperIterator

public MultiDataSetWrapperIterator(MultiDataSetIterator iterator)

param iterator Undelying iterator to wrap

RandomDataSetIterator

[source]

RandomDataSetIterator: Generates random values (or zeros, ones, integers, etc) according to some distribution. Note: This is typically used for testing, debugging and benchmarking purposes.

RandomDataSetIterator

public RandomDataSetIterator(int numMiniBatches, long[] featuresShape, long[] labelsShape, Values featureValues, Values labelValues)

param numMiniBatches Number of minibatches per epoch
param featuresShape Features shape
param labelsShape Labels shape
param featureValues Type of values for the features
param labelValues Type of values for the labels

MultiDataSetIteratorAdapter

[source]

Iterator that adapts a DataSetIterator to a MultiDataSetIterator
