tf.contrib.data.LMDBDataset

A LMDB Dataset that reads the lmdb file.

tf.contrib.data.LMDBDataset(
    filenames
)

Attributes
element_spec	The type specification of an element of this dataset.

Methods

apply

View source

apply(
    transformation_func
)

Applies a transformation function to this dataset.

apply enables chaining of custom Dataset transformations, which are represented as functions that take one Dataset argument and return a transformed Dataset.

For example:

dataset = (dataset.map(lambda x: x ** 2)
           .apply(group_by_window(key_func, reduce_func, window_size))
           .map(lambda x: x ** 3))

Args
transformation_func	A function that takes one Dataset argument and returns a Dataset.

Returns
Dataset	The Dataset returned by applying transformation_func to this dataset.

batch

View source

batch(
    batch_size, drop_remainder=False
)

Combines consecutive elements of this dataset into batches.

The components of the resulting element will have an additional outer dimension, which will be batch_size (or N % batch_size for the last element if batch_size does not divide the number of input elements N evenly and drop_remainder is False). If your program depends on the batches having the same outer dimension, you should set the drop_remainder argument to True to prevent the smaller batch from being produced.

Args
batch_size	A tf.int64 scalar tf.Tensor, representing the number of consecutive elements of this dataset to combine in a single batch.
drop_remainder	(Optional.) A tf.bool scalar tf.Tensor, representing whether the last batch should be dropped in the case it has fewer than batch_size elements; the default behavior is not to drop the smaller batch.

Returns
Dataset	A Dataset.

cache

View source

cache(
    filename=''
)

Caches the elements in this dataset.

Args
filename	A tf.string scalar tf.Tensor, representing the name of a directory on the filesystem to use for caching elements in this Dataset. If a filename is not provided, the dataset will be cached in memory.

Returns
Dataset	A Dataset.

concatenate

View source

concatenate(
    dataset
)

Creates a Dataset by concatenating the given dataset with this dataset.

a = Dataset.range(1, 4)  # ==> [ 1, 2, 3 ]
b = Dataset.range(4, 8)  # ==> [ 4, 5, 6, 7 ]

# The input dataset and dataset to be concatenated should have the same
# nested structures and output types.
# c = Dataset.range(8, 14).batch(2)  # ==> [ [8, 9], [10, 11], [12, 13] ]
# d = Dataset.from_tensor_slices([14.0, 15.0, 16.0])
# a.concatenate(c) and a.concatenate(d) would result in error.

a.concatenate(b)  # ==> [ 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 ]

Args
dataset	Dataset to be concatenated.

Returns
Dataset	A Dataset.

enumerate

View source

enumerate(
    start=0
)

Enumerates the elements of this dataset.

It is similar to python's enumerate.

For example:

# NOTE: The following examples use `{ ... }` to represent the
# contents of a dataset.
a = { 1, 2, 3 }
b = { (7, 8), (9, 10) }

# The nested structure of the `datasets` argument determines the
# structure of elements in the resulting dataset.
a.enumerate(start=5)) == { (5, 1), (6, 2), (7, 3) }
b.enumerate() == { (0, (7, 8)), (1, (9, 10)) }

Args
start	A tf.int64 scalar tf.Tensor, representing the start value for enumeration.

Returns
Dataset	A Dataset.

filter

View source

filter(
    predicate
)

Filters this dataset according to predicate.

d = tf.data.Dataset.from_tensor_slices([1, 2, 3])

d = d.filter(lambda x: x < 3)  # ==> [1, 2]

# `tf.math.equal(x, y)` is required for equality comparison
def filter_fn(x):
  return tf.math.equal(x, 1)

d = d.filter(filter_fn)  # ==> [1]

Args
predicate	A function mapping a dataset element to a boolean.

Returns
Dataset	The Dataset containing the elements of this dataset for which predicate is True.

flat_map

View source

flat_map(
    map_func
)

Maps map_func across this dataset and flattens the result.

Use flat_map if you want to make sure that the order of your dataset stays the same. For example, to flatten a dataset of batches into a dataset of their elements:

a = Dataset.from_tensor_slices([ [1, 2, 3], [4, 5, 6], [7, 8, 9] ])

a.flat_map(lambda x: Dataset.from_tensor_slices(x + 1)) # ==>
#  [ 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 ]

tf.data.Dataset.interleave() is a generalization of flat_map, since flat_map produces the same output as tf.data.Dataset.interleave(cycle_length=1)

Args
map_func	A function mapping a dataset element to a dataset.

Returns
Dataset	A Dataset.

from_generator

View source

@staticmethod
from_generator(
    generator, output_types, output_shapes=None, args=None
)

Creates a Dataset whose elements are generated by generator.

The generator argument must be a callable object that returns an object that supports the iter() protocol (e.g. a generator function). The elements generated by generator must be compatible with the given output_types and (optional) output_shapes arguments.

For example:

import itertools
tf.compat.v1.enable_eager_execution()

def gen():
  for i in itertools.count(1):
    yield (i, [1] * i)

ds = tf.data.Dataset.from_generator(
    gen, (tf.int64, tf.int64), (tf.TensorShape([]), tf.TensorShape([None])))

for value in ds.take(2):
  print value
# (1, array([1]))
# (2, array([1, 1]))

Note: The current implementation of Dataset.from_generator() uses tf.numpy_function and inherits the same constraints. In particular, it requires the Dataset- and Iterator-related operations to be placed on a device in the same process as the Python program that called Dataset.from_generator(). The body of generator will not be serialized in a GraphDef, and you should not use this method if you need to serialize your model and restore it in a different environment.

Note: If generator depends on mutable global variables or other external state, be aware that the runtime may invoke generator multiple times (in order to support repeating the Dataset) and at any time between the call to Dataset.from_generator() and the production of the first element from the generator. Mutating global variables or external state can cause undefined behavior, and we recommend that you explicitly cache any external state in generator before calling Dataset.from_generator().

Args
generator	A callable object that returns an object that supports the iter() protocol. If args is not specified, generator must take no arguments; otherwise it must take as many arguments as there are values in args.
output_types	A nested structure of tf.DType objects corresponding to each component of an element yielded by generator.
output_shapes	(Optional.) A nested structure of tf.TensorShape objects corresponding to each component of an element yielded by generator.
args	(Optional.) A tuple of tf.Tensor objects that will be evaluated and passed to generator as NumPy-array arguments.

Returns
Dataset	A Dataset.

from_tensor_slices

View source

@staticmethod
from_tensor_slices(
    tensors
)

Creates a Dataset whose elements are slices of the given tensors.

Note that if tensors contains a NumPy array, and eager execution is not enabled, the values will be embedded in the graph as one or more tf.constant operations. For large datasets (> 1 GB), this can waste memory and run into byte limits of graph serialization. If tensors contains one or more large NumPy arrays, consider the alternative described in this guide.

Args
tensors	A dataset element, with each component having the same size in the 0th dimension.

Returns
Dataset	A Dataset.

from_tensors

View source

@staticmethod
from_tensors(
    tensors
)

Creates a Dataset with a single element, comprising the given tensors.

Note that if tensors contains a NumPy array, and eager execution is not enabled, the values will be embedded in the graph as one or more tf.constant operations. For large datasets (> 1 GB), this can waste memory and run into byte limits of graph serialization. If tensors contains one or more large NumPy arrays, consider the alternative described in this guide.

Args
tensors	A dataset element.

Returns
Dataset	A
