get_dataloader

class torchrl.data.get_dataloader(batch_size: int, block_size: int, tensorclass_type: Type, device: device, dataset_name: Optional[str] = None, infinite: bool = True, prefetch: int = 0, split: str = 'train', root_dir: Optional[str] = None, from_disk: bool = False, num_workers: Optional[int] = None)

Creates a dataset and returns a dataloader from it.

Parameters:

• batch_size (int) – the batch size of the dataloader samples.

• block_size (int) – the maximum length of a sequence in the dataloader.

• tensorclass_type (tensorclass class) – a tensorclass with a from_dataset() method that must accept three keyword arguments: split (see below), max_length which is the block size to be used for training and dataset_name, a string indicating the dataset. The root_dir and from_disk arguments should also be supported.

• device (torch.device or equivalent) – the device where the samples should be cast.

• dataset_name (str, optional) – the dataset name. If not provided and if the tensorclass supports it, a default dataset name will be gathered for the tensorclass being used.

• infinite (bool, optional) – if True, the iteration will be infinite such that next(iterator) will always return a value. Defaults to True.

• prefetch (int, optional) – the number of items to be prefetched if multithreaded dataloading is being used.

• split (str, optional) – the data split. Either "train" or "valid". Defaults to "train".

• root_dir (path, optional) – the path where the datasets are stored. Defaults to "$HOME/.cache/torchrl/data"

• from_disk (bool, optional) – if True, datasets.load_from_disk() will be used. Otherwise, datasets.load_dataset() will be used. Defaults to False.

• num_workers (int, optional) – number of workers for datasets.dataset.map() which is called during tokenization. Defaults to max(os.cpu_count() // 2, 1).
