TensorFlow Datasets provides many public datasets as tf.data.Datasets.

pip install tensorflow-datasets

# Some datasets require additional libraries; see setup.py extras_require
pip install tensorflow

All datasets are implemented as subclasses of
DatasetBuilder
and
tfds.load
is a thin convenience wrapper.
DatasetInfo
documents the dataset.
import tensorflow_datasets as tfds
# The following is the equivalent of the `load` call above.
# You can fetch the DatasetBuilder class by string
mnist_builder = tfds.builder("mnist")
# Download the dataset
mnist_builder.download_and_prepare()
# Construct a tf.data.Dataset
ds = mnist_builder.as_dataset(split=tfds.Split.TRAIN)
# Get the `DatasetInfo` object, which contains useful information about the
# dataset and its features
info = mnist_builder.info
print(info)

can use
tfds.as_numpy
to return a generator that yields NumPy array
records out of a tf.data.Dataset. This allows you to build high-performance
input pipelines with tf.data but use whatever you'd like for your model
components.
train_ds = tfds.load("mnist", split=tfds.Split.TRAIN)
train_ds = train_ds.shuffle(1024).batch(128).repeat(5).prefetch(10)
for example in tfds.as_numpy(train_ds):
numpy_images, numpy_labels = example["image"], example["label"]You can also use tfds.as_numpy in conjunction with batch_size=-1 to
get the full dataset in NumPy arrays from the returned tf.Tensor object:
train_ds = tfds.load("mnist", split=tfds.Split.TRAIN, batch_size=-1)
numpy_ds = tfds.as_numpy(train_ds)
numpy_images, numpy_labels = numpy_ds["image"], numpy_ds["label"]Note that the library still requires tensorflow as an internal dependency.
Adding a dataset is really straightforward by following our guide.
Request a dataset by opening a Dataset request GitHub issue.
And vote on the current set of requests by adding a thumbs-up reaction to the issue.
This is a utility library that downloads and prepares public datasets. We do not host or distribute these datasets, vouch for their quality or fairness, or claim that you have license to use the dataset. It is your responsibility to determine whether you have permission to use the dataset under the dataset's license.
If you're a dataset owner and wish to update any part of it (description, citation, etc.), or do not want your dataset to be included in this library, please get in touch through a GitHub issue. Thanks for your contribution to the ML community!
