At training and testing time, PaddlePaddle programs need to read data. To ease
the users' work to write data reading code, we define that
2017-03-05 12:07:39 +08:00
- 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:: pycon
2017-03-05 12:07:39 +08:00
>>> iterable = data_reader()
2017-03-05 12:07:39 +08:00
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 (e.g., numpy array or list/tuple of float
2019-03-18 23:00:44 -05:00
or int).

An example implementation for single item data reader creator:
.. code-block:: pycon
2017-03-05 12:07:39 +08:00
>>> def reader_creator_random_image(width, height):
... def reader():
... while True:
... yield numpy.random.uniform(-1, 1, size=width * height)
...
... return reader
2017-03-05 12:07:39 +08:00
An example implementation for multiple item data reader creator:
.. code-block:: pycon
2017-03-05 12:07:39 +08:00
>>> 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
