<p>The default coding of images is based on the <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">uint8</span></code> dtype to
spare memory. Often machine learning algorithms work best if the
input is converted to a floating point representation first. Also,
if you plan to use <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">matplotlib.pyplot.imshow</span></code>, don’t forget to scale to the range
0 - 1 as done in the following example.</p>

<p>scikit-learn includes utility functions for loading
datasets in the svmlight / libsvm format. In this format, each line
takes the form <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre"><label></span> <span class="pre"><feature-id>:<feature-value></span>
<span class="pre"><feature-id>:<feature-value></span> <span class="pre">...</span></code>. This format is especially suitable for sparse datasets.
In this module, scipy sparse CSR matrices are used for <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">X</span></code> and numpy arrays are used for <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">y</span></code>.</p>
<p>You may load a dataset like this as follows:</p>
<div class="highlight-default notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="gp">>>> </span><span class="kn">from</span><span class="w"> </span><span class="nn">sklearn.datasets</span><span class="w"> </span><span class="kn">import</span> <span class="n">load_svmlight_file</span>

<span class="gp">... </span>
</pre></div>

<p>A dataset is uniquely specified by its <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">data_id</span></code>, but not necessarily by its
name. Several different “versions” of a dataset with the same name can exist
which can contain entirely different datasets.
If a particular version of a dataset has been found to contain significant
issues, it might be deactivated. Using a name to specify a dataset will yield
the earliest version of a dataset that is still active. That means that
<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">fetch_openml(name="miceprotein")</span></code> can yield different results
at different times if earlier versions become inactive.
You can see that the dataset with <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">data_id</span></code> 40966 that we fetched above is
the first version of the “miceprotein” dataset:</p>
<div class="highlight-default notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="gp">>>> </span><span class="n">mice</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="n">details</span><span class="p">[</span><span class="s1">'version'</span><span class="p">]</span>

<p>In fact, this dataset only has one version. The iris dataset on the other hand
has multiple versions:</p>

</pre></div>
</div>
<p>Specifying the dataset by the name “iris” yields the lowest version, version 1,
with the <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">data_id</span></code> 61. To make sure you always get this exact dataset, it is
safest to specify it by the dataset <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">data_id</span></code>. The other dataset, with
<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">data_id</span></code> 969, is version 3 (version 2 has become inactive), and contains a
binarized version of the data:</p>
<div class="highlight-default notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="gp">>>> </span><span class="n">np</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="n">unique</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="n">iris_969</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="n">target</span><span class="p">)</span>
<span class="go">array(['N', 'P'], dtype=object)</span>
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>You can also specify both the name and the version, which also uniquely
identifies the dataset:</p>
<div class="highlight-default notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="gp">>>> </span><span class="n">iris_version_3</span> <span class="o">=</span> <span class="n">fetch_openml</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="n">name</span><span class="o">=</span><span class="s2">"iris"</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="n">version</span><span class="o">=</span><span class="mi">3</span><span class="p">)</span>

<span id="openml-parser"></span><h3><span class="section-number">7.4.3.2. </span>ARFF parser<a class="headerlink" href="#arff-parser" title="Link to this heading">#</a></h3>
<p>From version 1.2, scikit-learn provides a new keyword argument <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">parser</span></code> that
provides several options to parse the ARFF files provided by OpenML. The legacy
parser (i.e. <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">parser="liac-arff"</span></code>) is based on the project
<a class="reference external" href="https://github.com/renatopp/liac-arff">LIAC-ARFF</a>. This parser is however
slow and consumes more memory than required. A new parser based on pandas
(i.e. <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">parser="pandas"</span></code>) is both faster and more memory efficient.
However, this parser does not support sparse data.
Therefore, we recommend using <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">parser="auto"</span></code> which will use the best parser
available for the requested dataset.</p>
<p>The <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">"pandas"</span></code> and <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">"liac-arff"</span></code> parsers can lead to different data types in
the output. The notable differences are the following:</p>
<ul class="simple">
<li><p>The <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">"liac-arff"</span></code> parser always encodes categorical features as <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">str</span></code>
objects. To the contrary, the <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">"pandas"</span></code> parser instead infers the type while
reading and numerical categories will be casted into integers whenever
possible.</p></li>
<li><p>The <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">"liac-arff"</span></code> parser uses float64 to encode numerical features tagged as
‘REAL’ and ‘NUMERICAL’ in the metadata. The <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">"pandas"</span></code> parser instead infers
if these numerical features correspond to integers and uses pandas’ Integer
extension dtype.</p></li>
<li><p>In particular, classification datasets with integer categories are typically
loaded as such <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">(0,</span> <span class="pre">1,</span> <span class="pre">...)</span></code> with the <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">"pandas"</span></code> parser while <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">"liac-arff"</span></code>
will force the use of string encoded class labels such as <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">"0"</span></code>, <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">"1"</span></code> and so
on.</p></li>
<li><p>The <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">"pandas"</span></code> parser will not strip single quotes - i.e. <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">'</span></code> - from string
columns. For instance, a string <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">'my</span> <span class="pre">string'</span></code> will be kept as is while the
<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">"liac-arff"</span></code> parser will strip the single quotes. For categorical columns,
the single quotes are stripped from the values.</p></li>
</ul>
<p>In addition, when <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">as_frame=False</span></code> is used, the <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">"liac-arff"</span></code> parser returns
ordinally encoded data where the categories are provided in the attribute
<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">categories</span></code> of the <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">Bunch</span></code> instance. Instead, <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">"pandas"</span></code> returns a NumPy array
were the categories. Then it’s up to the user to design a feature
engineering pipeline with an instance of <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">OneHotEncoder</span></code> or
<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">OrdinalEncoder</span></code> typically wrapped in a <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">ColumnTransformer</span></code> to
preprocess the categorical columns explicitly. See for instance: <a class="reference internal" href="../auto_examples/compose/plot_column_transformer_mixed_types.html#sphx-glr-auto-examples-compose-plot-column-transformer-mixed-types-py"><span class="std std-ref">Column Transformer with Mixed Types</span></a>.</p>

<p>scikit-learn works on any numeric data stored as numpy arrays or scipy sparse
matrices. Other types that are convertible to numeric arrays such as pandas
DataFrame are also acceptable.</p>
<p>Here are some recommended ways to load standard columnar data into a
format usable by scikit-learn:</p>
<ul class="simple">
<li><p><a class="reference external" href="https://pandas.pydata.org/pandas-docs/stable/io.html">pandas.io</a>
provides tools to read data from common formats including CSV, Excel, JSON
and SQL. DataFrames may also be constructed from lists of tuples or dicts.
Pandas handles heterogeneous data smoothly and provides tools for
manipulation and conversion into a numeric array suitable for scikit-learn.</p></li>
<li><p><a class="reference external" href="https://docs.scipy.org/doc/scipy/reference/io.html">scipy.io</a>
specializes in binary formats often used in scientific computing
contexts such as .mat and .arff</p></li>
<li><p><a class="reference external" href="https://docs.scipy.org/doc/numpy/reference/routines.io.html">numpy/routines.io</a>
for standard loading of columnar data into numpy arrays</p></li>
<li><p>scikit-learn’s <a class="reference internal" href="../modules/generated/sklearn.datasets.load_svmlight_file.html#sklearn.datasets.load_svmlight_file" title="sklearn.datasets.load_svmlight_file"><code class="xref py py-func docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">load_svmlight_file</span></code></a> for the svmlight or libSVM
sparse format</p></li>
<li><p>scikit-learn’s <a class="reference internal" href="../modules/generated/sklearn.datasets.load_files.html#sklearn.datasets.load_files" title="sklearn.datasets.load_files"><code class="xref py py-func docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">load_files</span></code></a> for directories of text files where
the name of each directory is the name of each category and each file inside
of each directory corresponds to one sample from that category</p></li>
</ul>
<p>For some miscellaneous data such as images, videos, and audio, you may wish to
refer to:</p>
<ul class="simple">
<li><p><a class="reference external" href="https://scikit-image.org/docs/dev/api/skimage.io.html">skimage.io</a> or
<a class="reference external" href="https://imageio.readthedocs.io/en/stable/reference/core_v3.html">Imageio</a>
for loading images and videos into numpy arrays</p></li>

for reading WAV files into a numpy array</p></li>
</ul>
<p>Categorical (or nominal) features stored as strings (common in pandas DataFrames)
will need converting to numerical features using <a class="reference internal" href="../modules/generated/sklearn.preprocessing.OneHotEncoder.html#sklearn.preprocessing.OneHotEncoder" title="sklearn.preprocessing.OneHotEncoder"><code class="xref py py-class docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">OneHotEncoder</span></code></a>

See <a class="reference internal" href="../modules/preprocessing.html#preprocessing"><span class="std std-ref">Preprocessing data</span></a>.</p>
<p>Note: if you manage your own numerical data it is recommended to use an
optimized file format such as HDF5 to reduce data load times. Various libraries
such as H5Py, PyTables and pandas provide a Python interface for reading and
writing data in that format.</p>
