Lightweight NLP Data Loader for All Deep Learning Frameworks in Python

LineFlow: Framework-Agnostic NLP Data Loader in Python

LineFlow is a simple text dataset loader for NLP deep learning tasks.

• LineFlow was designed to use in all deep learning frameworks.
• LineFlow enables you to build pipelines via functional APIs (.map, .filter, .flat_map).
• LineFlow provides common NLP datasets.

LineFlow is heavily inspired by tensorflow.data.Dataset and chainer.dataset.

Basic Usage

lineflow.TextDataset expects line-oriented text files:

import lineflow as lf


'''/path/to/text will be expected as follows:
i 'm a line 1 .
i 'm a line 2 .
i 'm a line 3 .
'''
ds = lf.TextDataset('/path/to/text')

ds.first()  # "i 'm a line 1 ."
ds.all() # ["i 'm a line 1 .", "i 'm a line 2 .", "i 'm a line 3 ."]
len(ds)  # 3
ds.map(lambda x: x.split()).first()  # ["i", "'m", "a", "line", "1", "."]

Example

• Please check out the examples to see how to use LineFlow, especially for tokenization, building vocabulary, and indexing.

Loads Penn Treebank:

>>> import lineflow.datasets as lfds
>>> train = lfds.PennTreebank('train')
>>> train.first()
' aer banknote berlitz calloway centrust cluett fromstein gitano guterman hydro-quebec ipo kia memotec mlx nahb punts rake regatta rubens sim snack-food ssangyong swapo wachter '

Splits the sentence to the words:

>>> # continuing from above
>>> train = train.map(str.split)
>>> train.first()
['aer', 'banknote', 'berlitz', 'calloway', 'centrust', 'cluett', 'fromstein', 'gitano', 'guterman', 'hydro-quebec', 'ipo', 'kia', 'memotec', 'mlx', 'nahb', 'punts', 'rake', 'regatta', 'rubens', 'sim', 'snack-food', 'ssangyong', 'swapo', 'wachter']

Obtains words in dataset:

>>> # continuing from above
>>> words = train.flat_map(lambda x: x)
>>> words.take(5) # This is useful to build vocabulary.
['aer', 'banknote', 'berlitz', 'calloway', 'centrust']

Commonsense Reasoning

CommonsenseQA

Loads the CommonsenseQA dataset:

>>> import lineflow.datasets as lfds

>>> train = lfds.CommonsenseQA("train")
>>> dev = lfds.CommonsenseQA("dev")
>>> test = lfds.CommonsenseQA("test")

The items in this datset as follows:

>>> import lineflow.datasets as lfds

>>> train = lfds.CommonsenseQA("train")
>>> train.first()
{"id": "075e483d21c29a511267ef62bedc0461",
 "answer_key": "A",
 "options": {"A": "ignore",
 "B": "enforce",
 "C": "authoritarian",
 "D": "yell at",
 "E": "avoid"},
 "stem": "The sanctions against the school were a punishing blow, and they seemed to what the efforts the school had made to change?"}
}

Language Modeling

Penn Treebank

Loads the Penn Treebank dataset:

import lineflow.datasets as lfds

train = lfds.PennTreebank('train')
dev = lfds.PennTreebank('dev')
test = lfds.PennTreebank('test')

WikiText-103

Loads the WikiText-103 dataset:

import lineflow.datasets as lfds

train = lfds.WikiText103('train')
dev = lfds.WikiText103('dev')
test = lfds.WikiText103('test')

This dataset is preprossed, so you can tokenize each line with str.split:

>>> import lineflow.datasets as lfds
>>> train = lfds.WikiText103('train').flat_map(lambda x: x.split() + ['<eos>'])
>>> train.take(5)
['<eos>', '=', 'Valkyria', 'Chronicles', 'III']

WikiText-2 (Added by @sobamchan, thanks.)

Loads the WikiText-2 dataset:

import lineflow.datasets as lfds

train = lfds.WikiText2('train')
dev = lfds.WikiText2('dev')
test = lfds.WikiText2('test')

This dataset is preprossed, so you can tokenize each line with str.split:

>>> import lineflow.datasets as lfds
>>> train = lfds.WikiText2('train').flat_map(lambda x: x.split() + ['<eos>'])
>>> train.take(5)
['<eos>', '=', 'Valkyria', 'Chronicles', 'III']

Machine Translation

small_parallel_enja:

import lineflow.datasets as lfds

train = lfds.SmallParallelEnJa('train')
dev = lfds.SmallParallelEnJa('dev')
test = lfd.SmallParallelEnJa('test')

This dataset is preprossed, so you can tokenize each line with str.split:

>>> import lineflow.datasets as lfds
>>> train = lfds.SmallParallelEnJa('train').map(lambda x: (x[0].split(), x[1].split()))
>>> train.first()
(['i', 'can', "'t", 'tell', 'who', 'will', 'arrive', 'first', '.'], ['誰', 'が', '一番', 'に', '着', 'く', 'か', '私', 'に', 'は', '分か', 'り', 'ま', 'せ', 'ん', '。']

Next to the Main Building is the Basilica of the Sacred Heart. Immediately behind the basilica is the Grotto, a Marian place of prayer and reflection. It is a replica of the grotto at Lourdes, France where the Virgin Mary reputedly appeared to Saint Bernadette Soubirous in 1858. At the end of the main drive (and in a direct line that connects through 3 statues and the Gold Dome), is a simple, modern stone statue of Mary.'}
