Custom Datasets

This guide provides instructions for including your own, custom datasets into the SDGym benchmarking framework.

Custom Dataset Requirements

You can add any number of custom datasets that represent single table data.

Dataset Format

Each dataset must have:

• Data, stored as a single CSV file with a name ending in .csv

• Metadata, stored as a JSON file named metadata.json

File Structure

The SDGym is optimized for applying multiple custom datasets to the benchmarking framework. Please convert all custom dataset into the following file structure:

1. Compress the CSV and JSON file for each dataset into a single zip file

2. Put all the zip files into a single folder for all your custom datasets

The overall structure is illustrated below.

data/my_custom_datasets/
|
|-- my_users.zip
|   |-- my_users.csv
|   |-- metadata.json
|
|-- my_financials.zip
|   |-- my_financials.csv
|   |-- metadata.json

Using your custom datasets

To use your custom datasets, supply the path to the overall folder using the additional_datasets_folder parameter.

Your folder can be stored on computer locally or it can be an Amazon S3 bucket.

Local Path

If you have the datasets folder stored on your machine, provide the folder's path as a string.

import sdgym

sdgym.benchmark_single_table(
    additional_datasets_folder='/data/my_custom_datsets/'
)

AWS S3 Filepath

If your datasets folder is an Amazon S3 bucket, you can provide the name of the bucket instead prefixed with 's3://'. For more information, see the docs for AWS Integration.

import sdgym

sdgym.benchmark_single_table(
    additional_datasets_folder='s3://my-demo-bucket'
)

Results

A result for each dataset and synthesizer will be able after the benchmarking finishes. You can identify each dataset by the name of each zip file.
