Dataset API
All datset implementations inherit from the the abstract class Dataset
.
Several such implementations are available, depending on the choice of classifier (and on the installed optional dependencies).
Core
- class small_text.data.datasets.Dataset[source]

- abstract property x
Returns the features.
- Returns
x – Feature representation.
- Return type
object
- abstract property y
Returns the labels.
- Returns
y – The labels as either numpy array (single-label) or sparse matrix (multi-label).

Pytorch Integration
- class small_text.integrations.pytorch.datasets.PytorchTextClassificationDataset(data, vocab, multi_label=False, target_labels=None)[source]
Dataset class for classifiers from Pytorch Integration.
- __init__(data, vocab, multi_label=False, target_labels=None)
- Parameters
data (list of tuples (text data [Tensor], labels [int or list of int])) – The single items constituting the dataset. For single-label datasets, unlabeled instances the label should be set to small_text.base.LABEL_UNLABELED`, and for multi-label datasets to an empty list.

target_labels (np.ndarray[int] or None, default=None) – This is a list of (integer) labels to be encountered within this dataset. This is important to set if your data does not contain some labels, e.g. due to dataset splits, where the labels should however be considered by entities such as the classifier. If None, the target labels will be inferred from the labels encountered in self.data.
