🤗 Datasets is a lightweight library providing two main features: 🎓 Documentation 🔎 Find a dataset in the Hub 🌟 Share a dataset on the Hub 🤗 Datasets is designed to let the community easily add and share new datasets, and provides powerful capabilities for data manipulation: 🤗 Datasets can be installed from PyPi and should be installed in a virtual environment (venv or conda for instance): For the latest development version: 🤗 Datasets supports various optional features via extras: For more details on installation, check the installation page. 🤗 Datasets is made to be very simple to use — the API is centered around a single function, datasets.loaddataset(datasetname, kwargs), that instantiates a dataset.
