Working with datasets in ClearML
For your information
In the instructions, we look at examples of working with datasets in ClearML using the image dataset CIDFAR10 as an example.
ClearML uses Dataset class to work with datasets. In ClearML WebApp, the dataset is displayed as an Experiment with the Data Processing type.
Before you start working with datasets, you need to prepare the environment.
Prepare the environment
-
Install system for conda package management.
-
Create an environment for conda:
conda env create --file environment.ymlEnvironment.yml file

Activate the environment:
conda activate clearml_datasets -
Check the connection of the ClearML SDK to the ClearML Server:
clearml-init -
Make sure that the
clearml.confconfiguration file specifies the correct ClearML Server URL of the formhttp://yourdomain.cmlp.selectel.ru. See ClearML documentation for more information. -
Check that the clearml.conf configuration file describes the connection to the storage. We recommend connect ClearML to Selectel object storage.
Prepare data
Before using the examples, download the CIDFAR10 dataset and prepare it for use.

Create a dataset
ClearML uses Dataset class to work with datasets.
An example script for creating a Datset:
from clearml import Dataset
from source.auxiliary_code import global_config
if __name__ == "__main__":
dataset_name = 'CIFAR10'
cifar10_dataset = Dataset.create(dataset_project=global_config.DATASET_PROJECT, dataset_name=dataset_name)
for dataset in Dataset.list_datasets(dataset_project=global_config.DATASET_PROJECT, only_completed=False):
print(dataset)
Load data into the dataset
You can load new data into an existing dataset.
In the example, File Server is used to store the data. You can configure ClearML Server to work with any storage, such as connect Selectel object storage.
Sample script for loading data into a dataset:
import os
from clearml import Dataset
from source.auxiliary_code import global_config
if __name__ == "__main__":
dataset_name = 'CIFAR10'
cifar10_dataset = Dataset.get(dataset_project=global_config.DATASET_PROJECT, dataset_name=dataset_name)
data_path = os.path.join(global_config.get_temp_data_path(), dataset_name)
cifar10_dataset.add_files(
path=os.path.join(data_path, 'train'),
dataset_path=os.path.join(dataset_name, 'train'),
verbose=True
)
Dataset.upload(cifar10_dataset, verbose=True)
Add metadata for dataset
You can add metadata for a dataset. The example adds tags (Tags) — You can use them to filter datasets.
Sample script for adding tags:
from clearml import Dataset
from source.auxiliary_code import global_config
if __name__ == "__main__":
dataset_name = 'CIFAR10'
cifar10_dataset = Dataset.get(dataset_project=global_config.DATASET_PROJECT, dataset_name=dataset_name)
cifar10_dataset.add_tags(['image', 'classification', 'example', 'small'])
for dataset in Dataset.list_datasets(dataset_project=global_config.DATASET_PROJECT, only_completed=False):
print(dataset)
