At training and testing time, PaddlePaddle programs need to read data. To ease
the users' work to write data reading code, we define that
- A *reader* is a function that reads data (from file, network, random number
generator, etc) and yields data items.
- A *reader creator* is a function that returns a reader function.
- A *reader decorator* is a function, which accepts one or more readers, and
returns a reader.
- A *batch reader* is a function that reads data (from *reader*, file, network,
random number generator, etc) and yields a batch of data items.
#####################
Data Reader Interface
#####################
Indeed, *data reader* doesn't have to be a function that reads and yields data
items. It can be any function with no parameter that creates a iterable
(anything can be used in :code:`for x in iterable`)\:
.. code-block:: python
iterable = data_reader()
Element produced from the iterable should be a **single** entry of data,
**not** a mini batch. That entry of data could be a single item, or a tuple of
items.
Item should be of `supported type <http://www.paddlepaddle.org/doc/ui/data_provider
/pydataprovider2.html?highlight=dense_vector#input-types>`_ (e.g., numpy 1d
array of float32, int, list of int)
An example implementation for single item data reader creator:
.. code-block:: python
def reader_creator_random_image(width, height):
def reader():
while True:
yield numpy.random.uniform(-1, 1, size=width*height)
return reader
An example implementation for multiple item data reader creator:
.. code-block:: python
def reader_creator_random_image_and_label(width, height, label):
def reader():
while True:
yield numpy.random.uniform(-1, 1, size=width*height), label
return reader
TODO(yuyang18): Should we add whole design doc here?
