rg.Dataset

Dataset is a class that represents a collection of records. It is used to store and manage records in Argilla.

Usage Examples

Creating a Dataset

To create a new dataset you need to define its name and settings. Optional parameters are workspace and client, if you want to create the dataset in a specific workspace or on a specific Argilla instance.

dataset = rg.Dataset(
    name="my_dataset",
    settings=rg.Settings(
        fields=[
            rg.TextField(name="text"),
        ],
        questions=[
            rg.TextQuestion(name="response"),
        ],
    ),
)
dataset.create()

For a detail guide of the dataset creation and publication process, see the Dataset how to guide.

Retrieving an existing Dataset

To retrieve an existing dataset, use client.datasets("my_dataset") instead.

dataset = client.datasets("my_dataset")

Class for interacting with Argilla Datasets

Attributes:

Name	Type	Description
name	str	Name of the dataset.
records	DatasetRecords	The records object for the dataset. Used to interact with the records of the dataset by iterating, searching, etc.
settings	Settings	The settings object of the dataset. Used to configure the dataset with fields, questions, guidelines, etc.
fields	list	The fields of the dataset, for example the rg.TextField of the dataset. Defined in the settings.
questions	list	The questions of the dataset defined in the settings. For example, the rg.TextQuestion that you want labelers to answer.
guidelines	str	The guidelines of the dataset defined in the settings. Used to provide instructions to labelers.
allow_extra_metadata	bool	True if extra metadata is allowed, False otherwise.
