Level 5: Data Subset Aggregation#

When working with public data, the dataset is sometimes provided with pre-divided training, validation, and test subsets. However, in some cases, these subsets may not follow an identical distribution, making it difficult to perform proper model comparison or selection. In this tutorial, we will show an example of dataset aggregation and reorganization to address this issue.

Prepare datasets#

As we did in level 3, we use the Cityscapes dataset. The Cityscapes dataset is divided into train, validation, and test subsets with the number of 2975, 500, and 1525 samples, respectively.

Again, more detailed description is given by here. The Cityscapes dataset is available for free download.


from datumaro.components.dataset import Dataset

data_path = '/path/to/cityscapes'
dataset = Dataset.import_from(data_path, 'cityscapes')

from datumaro.components.hl_ops import HLOps

aggregated = HLOps.aggregate(dataset, from_subsets=["train", "val", "test"], to_subset="default")

(Optional) Through splitter, we can reorganize the aggregated dataset with respect to the number of annotations in each subset.

import datumaro.plugins.splitter as splitter

splits = [("train", 0.5), ("val", 0.2), ("test", 0.3)]
task = splitter.SplitTask.segmentation.name

resplitted = aggregated.transform("split", task=task, splits=splits)
